Covid-19 is the largest health and economic crisis of our generation. News, which are evolving quickly, are often highly technical, and have policy consequences that dramatically affect our lives. We attempt to rationalise current health and economic policies and created a narrative to highlight different trade-offs which are part of: a) every health policy that attempts to flatten the contagion curve of Covid-19, and b) every economic policy that attempts to flatten the ‘recession curve’ caused by Covid-19.
