The Freedom Day Gamble

More or Less

Available for over a year

On the day the Government plans to drop the remaining Covid-19 restrictions, Tim Harford and the More or Less team try to work out how long cases will continue to rise and whether we can be sure the link with deaths and hospitalisations has been broken. Is this 'freedom day' or an unnecessary gamble with people’s lives?
