Is the search for a COVID-19 vaccine the best route to take? Prof Tulio de Oliveira wades in
Every Wednesday, virologist and bioinformatician Prof Tulio de Oliveira joins Darren, Keri, and Sky to answer COVID-19 related questions. With many European countries facing a second wave of the virus, the questions were many.

Prof Tulio de Oliveira answered this question, as well as another burning question about Donald Trump's quick recovery rate, footballer Cristiano Ronaldo's COVID-19 results, and how football teams can best protect players.
