Like so many other Australians, most of the team at The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age are now working from home - part of the effort to flatten the curve. The COVID-19 story is moving so fast it’s hard to pick which element to discuss on this week’s Please Explain podcast episode. In this week's episode of Please Explain, Tory Maguire will talk to Eryk Bagshaw who is one of the people leading our coverage out of Parliament House in Canberra about whether or not the Government has a plan for flattening the curve in Australia. Later on in the show, Europe Correspondent Bevan Shields will talk about how the United Kingdom has switched this week from the controversial herd immunity approach to containment.
