As Europe is in the process of reconfiguring itself, a lot of uncertainties persist around SARS-COV-2.

This new coronavirus causes Covid-19, this infectious disease that has already affected at least 45 million people across the planet, killing more than a million.

But if we now know how to detect the disease, treating it is still complicated and its origins and its evolutions keep a part of mystery.

Why so many difficulties for researchers around the world, what are the obstacles encountered by scientists?

These are the questions we are asking ourselves this evening in Decryption.
