COVID-19 Second Wave – Piet Streicher

Piet Streicher of PANDA in an interview with RSG on the so called COVID-19 'second wave' and the effect on primary health care, as well as the extremely negative effect on the economy. Piet Streicher's experience in data analysis gives us an insight into the figures that the media are publishing and how these figures can be misrepresented. The true picture is far less frightening and the way forward is to shield the most vulnerable and allow the less vulnerable to build 'community immunity'.
