John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge: COVID’s Wake-Up Call

COVID-19 has been a startling wake-up call and exposed the medical and economic challenges of dealing with a pandemic. As the death toll continues to rise, what can be done to keep people safe? And why are some countries handling the crisis better than others?

Economic journalists Micklethwait and Wooldridge identify the problems that global leaders face and outline a detailed plan to ensure we are better prepared and responsive to any disruptive events in the future.
