What does a 'Zero Covid strategy' involve, and could it work in Ireland? This week, as an extra bonus episode, we sat down with Paul Murphy TD to try out a possible new 'Rupture Explainer' series, this one on Zero Covid.

Paul's recent article on Zero Covid in thejournal.ie has been read almost 100,000 times as people try to understand this alternative to the governments failed yo-yo lockdown strategy, so we thought it would be a good opportunity to dive into this idea and give you a chance to find out more about it. Check out Paul's article here: https://www.thejournal.ie/readme/zero-covid-strategy-5331482-Jan2021/

This is a trial-run for a possible new series of 'Repture Explainer' episodes where we take a policy, concept or issue and try to break it down. Please let us know your feedback and ideas by email to [email protected] or get in touch on Twitter.
