Piers talks with Bob Millar, general surgeon and transplant specialist at Royal Melbourne Hospital and an original signatory of the Covid Doctors Network’s open letter to the Victorian Government, expressing serious concern with its handling of the covid pandemic. They discuss speed and accuracy of covid testing and the possibility of a nano cellular microscopy test with reliable results in under a minute.

He urges better communication from government and public debate free from fear.
