Peter Piot spent his career chasing viruses. Then COVID-19 'got' him

Although the severity of cases varies widely, even those who know viruses the best can fall victim to its devastating effects. William Brangham talks to Dr. Peter Piot, who for decades led the global fight against HIV/AIDS, about his own experience with the illness.
