Recommendation

Chinese cities are under lockdown, schools are closing and emergency hospitals are being built. The World Health Organization (WHO) calls it a public health emergency that has reached a status of heightened international concern. So how scared should you be? The host of the popular Science Vs. podcast, Wendy Zukerman, offers a voice of reason and some sound advice for dealing with the latest global health scare. You don’t need a PhD in virology to be able to follow her show, or her advice. You mostly just need a bar of soap.

Take-Aways

  • Cases of a novel coronavirus are confirmed in Asia, Europe and the United States.
  • This novel coronavirus probably originated in bats, but it’s still unclear how it passed to humans.
