US virus expert warns against opening economy too soon

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Dr Anthony Fauci, the US's top infectious diseases adviser, told the senate it could have negative consequences for the US if the economy is opened up too soon. We get analysis from Kim Strassel from the Wall Street Journal. Plus, as governments encourage people to take to their bikes when they return to work, to reduce the pressure on public transport, we ask whether it's likely to be successful, and hear about a scheme in France where bike users can get the cost of repairs reimbursed.
