Episode Synopsis "Live Free or Die OR Live Free AND Die?!"

In this episode, we have a conversation about how countries react to crises and whether or not authoritarian nations have been better able to contain COVID-19 because of their ability to force citizens to comply. We also discuss how freedom is understood in different countries and how these various constructions of freedom can change what citizens expect from their governments in times of crisis.  Lastly, we talk about the lasting effect coronavirus may have on governments around the world.
