What are we learning from Europe’s second wave?

At beginning of the pandemic in March we were hearing a lot about Europe, then in the following months the continent seemed to have the virus under control. Residents appeared to be enjoying the summer, travelling freely between countries. So have these lax attitudes contributed to Europe’s second wave? Last week the EU and Britain announced 41,000 fresh cases a day on average, however medical teams managing to keep the death rates lower during this second wave.

On today's episode we find out what has caused this second wave, how widespread mask use is in Europe, Sweden's approach to not lockdown and compare Australia’s approach to Europe. We’re joined by Martin McKee, professor of European public health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and also the former chair of the World Health Organisation’s European Advisory Committee on Health Research.

In today's news headlines:

  • Jobless rate falls, defying all expectations
  • Telehealth and home medication deliveries extended into next year
  • Man charged with threatening to kill QLD Premier, Chief Health Officer
  • Woman in her 20s wins entire $60 million Powerball
