This video from The Economist attempts to answer some questions associated with the coronavirus.

Some of the questions that are addressed include:

How will low-income countries be affected?
Why do mortality rates differ from country to country?
Can the pandemic accelerate the transition to us working and teaching remotely? And can existing infrastructure cope?

The video and the information contained fit within a number of areas within sociology and students could watch this to help understand more about how different areas of society are interdependent.
