Coronavirus conversations: Reopening businesses
Starting to trade again in Botswana, Turkey and the United States
How do you approach restarting your business after coronavirus lockdown? We speak to a restaurant owner in Dalyan, Turkey; an educational entrepreneur in Gaborone, Botswana; and a tattoo artist and shop owner in Grand Rapids, Michigan. How have they kept their businesses afloat? What are they doing to prepare to trade again in a world with Covid-19?
We'll also explain how a cheap steroid has been found to help patients who are severely ill with the disease. Research has shown that Dexamethasone significantly reduces the risk of death in patients on ventilators or oxygen. Dr Isaac Bogoch from the University of Toronto is on the programme to answer your questions about that or any other aspect of the coronavirus story. You can send your question on WhatsApp: +447730751925 or Twitter: @大象传媒OS.
Also, we talk about the future of policing in the United States after the killing of George Floyd. As President Trump signs an executive order on the changes that he is backing, we talk about the other visions to change, reform, defund or abolish police departments.
