Hello and welcome to The Intelligence from The Economist.
I'm your host, Jason Palmer.
Every weekday we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping your world.
As we now all intimately know,
international cooperation during a pandemic is crucial to ending it.

We report on a novel exhibition in London that should be replicated.
Let the public into the warehouse too.

Question.
Why on that first day did only five lorries make it through?
