영국, 유럽 현지 상황... 가디언지 보건의학전문기자 David Cox<br /><br />More than 900-thousand people have contracted the novel coronavirus globally as countries intensify efforts to control spread of the pandemic.<br />Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States have all reported the highest number of deaths in a single day since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.<br />Joining us live from Cambridge is health journalist and a neuroscientist himself, David Cox.<br />David, thanks so much for linking up with us.<br />In the UK, a further 563 people died from COVID-19, in what Prime Minister Boris Johnson described as a "sad, sad day." What's the latest there?<br />Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Prince Charles have both tested positive for COVID-19. How are they doing?<br />Making an online address on Twitter Wednesday, Johnson said testing was the key to solving the epidemic in the U.K.<br />There are two tests for coronavirus: one tests for antigens, which are produced by the body in response to a coronavirus infection and show if an individual has the virus; the other, an antibody test, shows whether an individual has been exposed to the virus, and has developed immunity to it.<br />How the UK is looking to ramp up antibody testing?<br />What about Spain and Italy? We've known for some time that Italy has been hit particularly hard by this virus but, why are deaths rising so quickly in Spain?<br />What are some treatment options that are being discussed? The FDA in the U.S. has fast-tracked anti-malarial drugs for use against COVID-19. I know there are some concerns about this. Are there any others being discussed?<br />David Cox live for us from Cambridge this evening. Thank you, David. Stay safe.<br />
