Long and Menaldo Published on The Conversation: “Why nobody will ever agree on whether COVID lockdowns were worth it”

Last week Forum co-founders James Long and Victor Menaldo published a piece in The Conversation, co-authored with UW Professor of Political Science Mark A. Smith. In the piece titled “Why nobody will ever agree on whether COVID lockdowns were worth it” the authors explore facts and values regarding lockdown decisions and intensity thereof. They discuss the costs and benefits and how those varied, as well as the need for humility to arrive at a consensus. Please give it a read and leave a comment!
