ONLINE: Defining freedom in the time of COVID

12 PM to 1 PM EST
From imposing curfews, lockdowns and bans on private gatherings to introducing new and sometimes coercive measures aimed at increasing vaccination rates, governments around the world are going to great lengths to protect their populations from COVID-19. How effective are these measures at curbing the spread of the virus? At what point could the costs of limiting personal freedom outweigh public health benefits, and are these two objectives actually in conflict with each other?
Join us for our next Made by McGill alumni webcast as we discuss these thorny topics with experts in the fields of law and public health policy and examine how democratic governments are balancing public policy goals while protecting fundamental human rights to health, life and liberty.
