Description

Less than a day after Boris Johnson addressed the nation with a new set of restrictions, the UK reported its highest number of coronavirus cases since May. In order to decide exactly which measures to use, the government had to weigh up factors - crucially, how to suppress the virus but also stop the UK from falling into an economic crisis.In this episode, Sophy Ridge discussed this with GP and health campaigner Dr Louise Irvine, and Alfie Stirling, director of research & chief economist at the New Economic Foundation.Sky’s economic editor Ed Conway also joins us to analyse the data and examine what lies ahead.Daily podcast team:Podcast producer - Annie JoycePodcast producer - Nicola EyersAssistant producer: Emma WoodhouseInterviews producers - Oli FosterInterviews producers - Tatiana AldersonInterviews producers - Megan CouttsArchive - Simon WindsorMusic - Steven Wheeler
