The Agenda

In this episode, Ellie Green is joined by David Goodhart, Head of Demography at Policy Exchange. They discuss the politics beyond the policy of the Coronavirus crisis. Considering the different responses around the world, and whether this latest crisis will shape our political futures; will Coronavirus be a driving force behind resurgent nationalism and speed the decline in globalisation?

In this episode, Ellie Green speaks to Richard Walton and Julie Marionneau, the authors of our most recent report "Exiting Lockdown" about using Digital Contact Tracing to Defeat COVID-19. Also on the Episode, Benjamin Barnard, Head of Technology Policy, talks about the technical challenges of Contact Tracing. The Report explores how Digital Contact Tracing can be used to Defeat COVID-19. It calls for the UK Government to extend its Five Pillar Testing Strategy to a Six Pillar Testing and Tracing Strategy by introducing digital contact tracing as a Sixth Pillar. A Testing and Tracing Strategy should bring together expertise from the Department of Health, NHSX, NHS Digital, Police, Military and the Intelligence Agencies, to create a new independent national 24/7 Testing and Tracing Command Centre.
