Coronavirus has now claimed the lives of more than a million people around the world and it's not showing many signs of slowing down.

Countries pummelled by the first wave of the pandemic are now experiencing a second one, while lower income countries are starting to see their infection rates take off.

And 1 million deaths is only the official recorded figure, so how much higher could the death toll be?

Also on the show:

* What is rapid testing and why isn't it more commonly used?

* How are Norman's gains after he returned to the gym?

By now many of us would have been subjected to a coronavirus test.

A swab is shoved up your nose and jiggled around a bit, then it's shoved down your throat for another jiggle.

While it's incredibly important to keep coronavirus at bay, it's not exactly the most fun you'll ever have.

So what's happened to the promise of non-invasive saliva testing?

On today's show:

* Whatever happened to saliva testing for coronavirus?

* Is it okay to go back to swimming in a public swimming pool?

* Is it still worth wearing a mask in NSW?

* If you show symptoms of coronavirus, should you get tested straight away?

Melbourne has taken its first big step out of restrictions, with 127,000 more people allowed to head back to work today.

The number of active cases has fallen below 400 for the first time in nearly three months and the number of unknown mystery cases is also dropping.

And in positive news, the Premier Daniel Andrews says the city is about a week ahead of where they hoped to be.

So as restrictions are slowly lifted, can Melbourne keep numbers down?

On today's show:

* How cautious is the Victorian Government being as it moves out of lockdown?

* How useful is sewage testing for monitoring community spread of SARS-CoV-2?

* Any new information about climate and COVID?

* Can sniffer dogs detect coronavirus?

With coronavirus still raging around the world, there have been plenty of opportunities for people to get COVID-19 twice.

The good news is that it seems to be incredibly rare for a person to contract the disease twice.

But in less good news, it seems when someone does get reinfected, it can be more serious the second time round.

So what does this mean for any vaccine?

On today's show:

* Why has there not been much discussion about possible treatment and therapies for coronavirus?

* What are the top three countries that get "the gold star" in dealing with the pandemic?

And it's time for Quick Fire Friday!

* How do you determine what percentage of infections in the community is required for herd immunity?

* If COVID 19 can cause inflammation to the brain and cause Parkinson's, what other sickness can do the same?

* How safe are choirs now?

* Who will be Norman's co-host next week?

When it finally comes time to roll out a coronavirus vaccine, the reality is that some people will have to go first.

And then difficult decisions have to be made. Do you pick the most vulnerable or do you pick the people most likely to spread it?

In the results of a survey out today, Australians have indicated that they'd pick healthcare workers and carers to be first, and lawyers and farmers to have to wait a bit longer.

So who would you pick?

On today's show:

* Who would you pick to be vaccinated first?

* Is Sweden the success story it's cracked up to be?

* Does Sweden have herd immunity yet? Is it close?

* Are the UK's new restrictions likely to work?

* Is Melbourne much further along that the averages would suggest?
