Listen: Covid’s East-West divide
In Asia, second and third waves of the coronavirus are raging in some countries, with India reporting more than 200,000 new cases in its latest figures.

With some notable exceptions, Asia has handled the Covid crisis better than the West, with far fewer cases in total, and many fewer casualties.
