‘Coronavirus will be with us for decades’

Sir Andrew Pollard, Director of the Oxford Vaccine group tells Weekend the virus is here to stay. He explains how each country will have a different response, so direct comparison with others won’t work.

Also in the programme: a top computer scientist answers on the future of Artificial Intelligence; and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin fame on moving on from his Rock and Roll days.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Felia Allum, Senior lecturer at the Department of Politics, Languages and International Studies at the University of Bath, and Steve Erlanger, chief diplomatic correspondent for the New York Times.
