This week on Grand Tamasha, Anup Malani joined Milan to discuss the coronavirus surge in India, including the effectiveness of lockdowns, the causes of the surge, and the role vaccine nationalism has played in getting supplies to India. It has been a harrowing week for India. The country is reeling under the effects of a devastating second wave of the coronavirus, which is responsible for more than 300,000 new cases a day and more than 2,000 fatalities. And these official numbers are almost certainly a dramatic undercount. To understand what is driving this new second wave of the virus and the global health implications of the surge, professor Anup Malani joins Milan on the show this week. Anup is the Lee and Brena Freeman professor at the University of Chicago Law School and a professor at the Pritzker School of Medicine. Anup and Milan discuss India’s second COVID wave—what we know, what we don’t know, and what we need to find out. Plus, they discuss the findings of numerous serological studies Anup and his co-authors have conducted across India, the contested role of lockdowns, and the worrying prospect of vaccine nationalism.

Men are at higher risk of coronavirus infection, severe disease, and death, which shows data from China, South Korea, Italy, the US and India. The data shows how men have higher death rates than women in these countries. One of the major reasons is that the virus does not hide in ovaries which lower women's risk. The testes are reservoirs for the SARS-Cov-2 virus, where it hides to evade the immune system. To listen to more episodes from this podcast, click on https://bit.ly/3dzRFhl Read more
