Coronavirus fact vs. fiction – should we blame open borders?

There’s a lot of misinformation out there about the coronavirus. In this podcast, which features content from The Wall Street Journal What’s News podcast, Felicity Duncan separates fact from fiction, and takes a look at what we know for sure so far. The episode also addresses the question of open borders and the role that they have played in the spread of the virus. Plenty of people are saying that the virus is a sign that the world has become too integrated. But calls to reverse globalisation to prevent the spread of new illnesses are short-sighted and ignore the potential costs of a less-connected world.
