What will tomorrow’s virus look like? And how can we prepare for it? Our globalised world makes us vulnerable and no one will be safe from the next virus. For many doctors and scientists, the current Corona crisis came as no surprise. VPRO’s Backlight presents an interview with virus hunter Ron Fouchier, virologist at Erasmus Medical Center and a key figure in virology. What new viruses can we expect in the future? How vulnerable are we? Viruses are smart and develop fast. Can humans outsmart them and arm themselves?
