We’re in the grip of a country-wide lockdown and literally everyone and their dog is adjusting to life with just one walk a day.
In the latest episode of new podcast Alone Together, a coronavirus podcast, our journalists and podcasters are digging into what the latest developments mean for you.
Morgen McIntyre and Dan Mclaughlin give the lowdown on the government lockdown, and discuss how people are adapting to the new world of social distancing - or failing to, in some cases.
New measures mean the public leaving the house for two main reasons: one piece of exercise per day or going to the shops for essential supplies but how is that playing out?
Meanwhile, Matt Millard interviews Mazzy Snape, a music creative, who has created a platform called ‘Lockdown Brum’ where creatives in Birmingham such as comedians, actors, musicians and many others can submit content for people to watch online.
And what’s going on with a search for a vaccine? Dr Rachel Sutherland, an Edinburgh-based doctor, gives informed answers on the public's pressing questions from how to protect vulnerable groups to discussing if children are carriers of the virus.
The Scotsman health correspondent, Kevan Christie, also shares some information on the progress of the coronavirus vaccination that is being developed by a team led by Dr Kate Broderick.
