What's the Magic Number?

Tom Shakespeare argues that the pandemic is forcing us to think again about our attitudes to risk.

With widespread unease over the government 's handling of the pandemic, Tom Shakespeare proposes that ordinary citizens should be allowed a greater say in what rules we should be following.
"Then there would be no elites to blame," he says, "because the people making the decisions would be you and me, and our deliberations would be public."
