I've got a different TV post for today. I happened upon the NOVA from two weeks ago (about a week late), and since it's timely, I'm posting the link:
Decoding COVID-19
It's about 55 minutes. And I'm sure you've already heard some of it. But it talks about how the virus works, what they're doing to find a treatment and vaccine, and the various scientists who are working on the problem.
It's a good program. As I only accidentally happened upon it, I thought I might not be the only one who almost missed it.
I am fan of Nova
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I may check it out.
ReplyDeleteTotally worth it. You can probably also get it through the PBS app on a streaming TV.
DeleteI will listen to it at work. Sounds interesting. I like to learn new things about this and process it accordingly. Thanks!

watching something that is not politically motivated, that is factual will be a pleasure to watch.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how this pandemic got political. It shouldn't have.
DeleteDidn't catch the NOVA program, but learned about Covid-19 and other viruses on a Netflix special. Also watched CNN's special on what China knew about the virus and when they knew it. Their cover-up and slowness to act is partly to blame for the mess we're in now.
ReplyDeleteAt the outset, sure. This NOVA was more about the science, which I found interesting.
DeleteNot available here, but I have been reading heaps about the science. It's quite fascinating how much they've learnt, but at the same time, how little they know.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen NOVA in years. I will write myself a note...and hope to remember. By the time my workday is over, my mind just wants to veg.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a chance to check it out. It's worth the time.
DeleteUnfortunately the video is not available, possibly because of rights restrictions. But thankfully there is a transcript of the entire programme. I read through the text. That was good enough.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this informative piece.
As I see it, there are two key worrying aspects of COVID-19: one, infected people could be asymptomatic (they won't get tested and would unwittingly transfer virus to others), and two, scientists still don't have a complete understanding of how this virus works on the human body, the virus seems to be throwing up new surprises (that could delay development of a vaccine).
I haven't seen it but I've got it pulled up so I'm going to watch. Thanks for this Liz.
ReplyDeleteHope you like it. I found it very informative.
