Why NZ should not adopt the Swedish approach to COVID

From Afternoons, 1:45 pm on 18 August 2020

Political reporter for Newsroom, Marc Daalder, has investigated theories about "living with COVID" in our community along the same lines as Sweden has approached the pandemic. 

He's found that compared to Sweden, our lock downs have led to us having greater freedoms than the Swedish as well as enjoying better economic decisions. 

He talks to Jesse about the long piece, unravelling the data and why an elimination approach is still the best option.
