    There is some speculation that the lives lost due to the recession could outnumber those from the coronavirus itself. But the evidence from past downturns might surprise you on this episode of The Dismal Science podcast.

    Chief Economist Mark Thirlwell and Head of Content Ivan Ah Sam go through the evidence on how recessions affect people's health, plus the latest from China, what's going on with oil prices and the ugly jobs numbers start rolling in for Australia.
