The young are far less likely to become seriously ill with coronavirus or to die from it, yet their futures are being ravaged by the disease. With a global recession predicted to last for years to come, many young people have already lost their jobs while others will struggle to find work - let alone buy homes or afford the lifestyles of their parents and grandparents. While schools in some countries are beginning to reopen, children and students have already lost out educationally, and the mental health of young people is said to be at greater risk in these uncertain times. Is the next generation being asked to make too great a sacrifice? Wouldn't it be fairer to allow them out of lockdown, while older people continue to be shielded?

How has Covid-19 changed the way we live our lives and the values we share? Will we see society remade and build a better future? What difference has it made to our attitudes socially, politically and culturally. Is there a deeper sense of community, or do some feel forgotten and left behind? Will Covid-19 change forever the way we do our jobs, with far more of us working from home, and fewer people travelling? Some hope we are we heading for a greener planet, others feel it will be a lonelier one. On the panel are Professor Green (Stephen Manderson), British multi-platinum rap artist, documentary maker and patron of the suicide prevention charity CALM, and Jameela Jamil, British actress, radio presenter, model, writer and activist.
