Title: A broad-based economic recovery requires an end to the pandemic
Post by: John Short on January 05, 2022, 08:07:21 GMT

Are policy makers listening? - this is a global not just an in-country issue!

The article argues that:

"Ending the pandemic is a necessary prerequisite to restoring jobs, livelihoods, and economic well-being. One cannot be achieved without the other.

First, the COVID-19 crisis has made it clear that pandemic policy is economic policy, that there is no durable end to the economic crisis without an end to the health crisis.

Second, the world needs better stewardship of global public goods, including preparedness to fight future pandemics."
