Covid-19 - Choosing Lives or Livelihoods?

The Covid-19 pandemic has placed uncertainty at the forefront. When will cases peak? What kind of a recovery will we see? Will shuttered economies be able to reopen? Amid this global guessing game, we speak to Ramanan Laxminarayan, Affiliate Professor of Global Health at the University of Washington, and Director and Senior Fellow, The Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy, about modelling the progression of the outbreak, India as a potential new hotspot, as well as when we might feasibly see a vaccine on the market.
