Hawaiian Pizza, Obesity and a Second Wave?

More or Less

Available for over a year

Covid-19 cases are rising in the UK - is it a sign of a second wave of the virus? We’re picking apart the data and asking how concerned we should be, both now and as autumn approaches. Scotland is under-counting Covid deaths, England is overcounting them: we’re asking why and whether the problems will be fixed. Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver claims over a quarter of all the fruit and veg kids eat is in the form of pizza, can this be true? Plus, as some people are blaming obesity for the severity of the coronavirus outbreak in the UK, we’ll find out how big a difference it really makes.
