Coronavirus: 'Antibodies fall rapidly after infection'
A research says levels of protective antibodies in people wane "quite rapidly"
In the biggest study of its kind, scientists at Imperial College London found that people's immune response to coronavirus reduces over time following infection. The study indicates that levels of protective antibodies waned quite rapidly after an infection. We discuss the implications with Dr Isaac Bogoch from Toronto.
We are also following a bomb attack on an Islamic religious school in Peshawar in Pakistan, and bring some voices from that city.
We continue to host conversations with Americans ahead of next week鈥檚 election. Today we bring together three farmers in Wisconsin. They talk about the past fours years of Trump presidency and how the pandemic has affected their businesses.
