Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the UK - what do these countries have in common? They're all winding back or removing their Covid restrictions completely, despite the virus case numbers still rising each week.

And now it seems Australia might start joining them, with some states looking to remove a number of restrictions or having done so already, but are we ready to really live with covid?

In today's episode we're looking at whether the time for masks, distancing, isolating and testing is over, or whether we're moving way too soon.
