French doctor finds early - and surprising - coronavirus case

Newsday

Available for over a year

We hear from the doctor who's managed to trace the first infection in France to a month earlier than was thought.....December last year. So where did it come from? As well as the human cost, we talk about the vast economic cost. The US treasury needs three trillion dollars to foot the virus bill - who does it borrow that from? And a report on the Islamist uprising in remote northern Mozambique - how should it be tackled?
