The headlines are dominating on the topic of Coronavirus / COVID-19 and I just woke up remembering that I interviewed one of the world leading experts on infectious diseases last year: Professor David Murdoch. So I pulled out the part of his interview where we discussed viruses, diseases and antibiotics and am putting it out as a shorter episode here. We obviously did not know about COVID-19 at that time but we discuss topics that are related and more relevant than ever now.
