Science after Sunset is back after a brief hiatus! This time we're getting to the bottom of the ongoing Chinese outbreak of the novel coronavirus. Where did it come from? How does it spread? How lethal is it? And most importantly how do we protect ourselves? We'll be discussing a closely related outbreak that happened in 2002/2003, and we'll sort out the fact from the fiction in recent news headlines.
