The Economist: Covid-19 presents stark choices between life, death and the economy.

As the pandemic begins to rage in the United States, our cover this week tackles the grim choices covid-19 presents between life, death and, ultimately, the economy. The virus throws up a miasma of trade-offs: should medical resources go to covid-19 patients or those suffering from other diseases? Some unemployment and bankruptcy is a price worth paying, but how much? If extreme social distancing fails to stop the disease, how long should it persist? The governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, has declared: “We’re not going to put a dollar figure on human life.” It was a rallying-cry from a courageous man whose state is overwhelmed. But although it sounds hard-hearted, a dollar figure on life, or at least some way of thinking systematically, is precisely what leaders will need if they are to see their way through the harrowing months to come.

The Economist: Paying to stop the pandemic.

Our paper this week is dominated by the pandemic. Our first two leaders look at how to deal with the disease and, as far as possible, how to spare the economy. As the virus burns its way across Europe and North America, and begins to take hold in the developing world, our cover leader reports on two strategies to defeat it and draws on the lessons from China and South Korea. Be under no illusions, though: even the best policy might not prevent the pandemic from exacting a heavy toll.  As governments and central banks pour trillions of dollars into helping households and businesses, our second leader analyses how they should best spend their money. If the virus retreats only to resurge, workers and firms must be confident that governments will dial assistance down and up again as needed.

The Economist: The politics of pandemics.

This week’s issue is dominated by covid-19. The pandemic, as the World Health Organisation has officially declared it, is spreading fast, with almost 45,000 cases and nearly 1,500 deaths in 112 countries outside China. Our cover leader looks at how politicians are belatedly realising that, as health systems buckle and deaths mount, they will have to weather the storm. We examine how America, despite its wealth and the excellence of its medical science, has squandered its chance to prepare for the pandemic, and how China’s president, Xi Jinping, celebrated a precipitous fall in cases with a victory lap in Wuhan, where the disease first took hold. As markets tumble we explore the parallels with the financial crisis of 2007-09, the vulnerability of credit markets to a downturn and how past pandemics have scarred economies. We stress-test Britain’s National Health Service. We analyse Iran’s failure to contain the virus. We evaluate the quarantines in Italy, South Korea and China, and their feasibility in other countries. And we devote three pages to a portrait of the virus behind it all, SARS-CoV-2, and the drugs that might one day bring it to heel.

The Economist: Covid-19.

Our cover this week looks at how governments should prepare for the spread of covid-19. The pandemic threatens an economic crisis as well as a health crisis and both will need fixing. The disease is in 85 countries and territories, up from 50 a week ago. More than 95,000 cases and 3,200 deaths have been recorded. Yet our own analysis, based on patterns of travel to and from China, suggests that many countries which have spotted tens of cases have hundreds more circulating undetected. Iran, South Korea and Italy are exporting the virus. Now that America has begun looking, it is sure to find scores of infections—and possibly unearth a runaway epidemic. Wherever the virus takes hold, containing it and mitigating its effects will involve more than doctors and paramedics. A concerted effort is needed across the government, especially over how to protect people and companies as supply chains fracture and the worried and the ill shut themselves away.
