BBC World Service - The Inquiry, Should we learn to live with Covid?

Are lockdowns the answer to rising infection rates or should we learn to live with Covid?

As governments move to contain a second wave of coronavirus, and debate over how to manage rising infection rates grow, Tanya Beckett asks: should we learn to live with Covid-19?

As new students start at universities in many countries around the world, governments are grappling with how to contain a second wave of Coronavirus. Already many universities have put lectures online and students are being told to stay in their rooms. But is this fair? Covid-19 is a deadly virus but not so much for the young. Can or should we keep the world locked down until there’s a vaccine or cure? Or, Tanya Beckett asks:  should we learn to live with Covid?
