Editor's Notes
- The Indian economy was already passing through a recession and experts were saying that the economy was heading towards depression even before the advent of the corona virus. COVID-19 has dealt a severe blow on the economy. It will be difficult to come out of this situation and depression once the lockdown is over. Impact on other sectors Unprecedented challenge to global healthcare systems (no access to women for an abortion; vulnerabilities of healthcare workers; insurance) Crash in demand for agricultural products Dampening demand for oil and crashing prices Disruption of supply chain for manufacturing industries (factory output in India has contracted by 56%) Massive investments in disease prevention

- Integrate online education into coursework World class education Cost effective
- It’s clear that in a crisis, rules don’t apply—which makes you wonder why they are rules in the first place. This is an unprecedented opportunity to not just hit the pause button and temporarily ease the pain, but to permanently change the rules so that untold millions of people aren’t so vulnerable to begin with. The Doomsday Clock is ticking.
- instructing students on the appropriate protocols for hand washing 2. covering sneezes and coughs with their elbows 3. self isolating if they are experiencing flu or cold-like symptoms
- Instead of “We First” foreign policy, we need to return to multilateral diplomacy, and to the understanding that co-operation with allies—and adversaries, too—is especially necessary when it comes to dealing with global problems like climate change and viral pandemics.
