In this video, Brad Littlejohn and Alastair Roberts explore the question of tradeoffs in relation to Covid-19. Is it true that "the cure may be worse than the disease," that we need to balance the protection of the economy against the protection of lives? In fact, we need to understand how deeply intertwined the health and economic challenges are. They also explore the threats to freedom that could emerge in the form of new surveillance measures, and the need to grapple with these wisely.
