Our World is 7.7 billion people

what does that do to uh personal freedom

what does that do to uh you know
my own privacy uh how how is this going
to be used how do we deal with this um
i i'm really really concerned about this
because uh
some of the measures that were taken
early on really invaded
uh personal freedom and privacy and
they challenged some of the fundamental
democratic dimensions of our lives
now there's a trade-off there's uh risks
and benefits in everything that we do
so uh if coronavirus were to kill 50
million people
of average age of 28 i would say shut
down everything
and forget about privacy for a few weeks
if it's an issue of a few weeks so we'll
deal with that
and then we will be very happy and we
will all celebrate and we'll just burn
these three weeks of our lives as being
completely miserable
but that's not the case uh coronavirus
is
probably here to stay i don't know
about the next waves uh how big they
might be
whether this virus will get established
in the community and may be coming back
with some modest or more than modest
waves in the future that's very hard to
say
at the moment we cannot really destroy
our lives we cannot destroy democracy we
cannot destroy privacy we cannot destroy
our world
or something like that we need to deal
with it
precisely with as accurate tools as we
have
but not destroy our world because
our world is 7.7 billion people and it's
also all the people who will live after
us
and we cannot kill all these lives just
to contain a virus
which is lethal but is not the end of
the world
