Living with the Wuhan Corona Virus • Plagues of Today & the Past • Brexit Ho!

Foreign Influence

Join American Bill Poorman and Dutchman Nikolaj Groeneweg, living in Asia, as they take you on a humorously serious and seriously humorous romp through the week's international news! This week we have a special focus on the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak:

• The novel coronavirus out of Wuhan, China continues to spread, and all Bill wants is an antibacterial wipe for his phone
• Keeping a proper assessment of risk in your head is really hard
• The animals don't ask to be eaten
• Diseases have shaped human history
• China has imposed quarantines of cities equalling entire countries
• And our twisted take on happy news - Brexit is finally here!
