So, where did Covid-19 come from?

The World Health Organisation has consistently failed over COVID-19, deferring dangerously to China’s misinformation campaign. Now the idea the virus might have escaped from a lab in Wuhan, long derided as fanciful, is gaining mainstream traction.

Is the lockdown doing more harm than good?

It’s better to control the timing, sequence and pace at which restrictions are eased, with built-in flexibility to bring some back should infection numbers shoot up again, than to lose control of the agenda.

Preserving life and our quality of life

The trade off between public health and economic survival isn’t black and white. More targeted measures can protect those most at risk while allowing business and society to recover.

The world has to work together

The death of globalisation and global institutions in the face of COVID-19 is much exaggerated. A universal pulling up of drawbridges behind national moats would do collective self-harm.
