Living at risk: the ICEberg of COVID-19

Finally, many of us will suffer or die second grade as human progress stops and then reverses.

The locks, which may be well deployed, have caused a massive economic surprise, so great that it is a “crisis” from each and every old point of view.

The trick is to strike a balance between two goals: to want the virus so that the boom that is coming does not stop dry, and want to avoid any destruction of capital more than is surely necessary.

“The pandemic crisis is now based on a foothold. On the one hand, there is the Covid-19 and all the imaginable movements that can save others from contracting and dying from infection.

On the other hand, there is all that matters: livelihoods that allow others to feed and house their families; Civil liberties; Children’s school social welfare, adding the prevention of loneliness, isolation and domestic violence; and all other medical conditions, from cancer and diseases of the center to dental emergencies. “- Joseph A. Ladapo, MD, PhD, Wall Street Journal

Sooner or later, the threat of the new coronavirus outbreak will fade. The virus will be eradicated, but we will adapt and be informed to live with the threat of SARS-nCoV-2 infection. (The virus will also adapt, which is a big fear for researchers and public fitness officials.)

Our parents, grandparents and ancestors lived with the threat of polio, smallpox, plague, cholera, typhus and a multitude of viruses and bacterial infections in epic battles between humans and infectious diseases. Fortunately, they did not live with these threats, but humanity survived. In fact, it thrived. How do we know? Today, the world’s population is as large, healthy and as large as ever, giving a concept of who is winning the endless war between viruses and human beings.

Most other people face viral threats on a daily basis and have. “I’ve lived with [the choice of] dengue,” recalls Victor Canto, renowned economist, prolific writer and chief investment officer. Canto is a member of our concentrated group, which also includes Drew Senyei, MD, who was interviewed in April. Dengue fever is also called brittle fever, not because it breaks bones, but because it feels that way. You don’t need it. But in the home of Canto’s house in the Dominican Republic, a high-middle-income country, it is endemic and you are exposed to that threat, whether you like it or not.

“[N] or have lost many years in the [remediation] of malaria, polio and HIV and the debt of countries of all sizes and [degrees] of instability. It will be years before I even return to where I was in early 2020. “

And Gates says he’s optimistic!

In the long run, what we mean for the decade or two after the SARS-nCoV epidemic has disappeared (probably not eliminated), we are more involved in deaths for those similar reasons than in the number of immediate COVID deaths. . -19 disease. They will most likely outnumber deaths from the virus itself.

This recitation of losses is not intended to recommend that we simply “let it pass” and allow the pandemic to run its course for fear of the economy and well-being of those who do not contract the disease. That would be silly. We list those prices so that the overall optimization challenge is well framed, that’s all.

By adapting to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, because this is what will make our species almost infinitely adaptable, we hope to be in the other aspect of the Ladapo pivot, where “everything you fear” is renewed. What issues are the livelihoods that allow others to feed and house their families? civil liberties; Schooling of children Economic and technological growth; social welfare, adding the prevention of loneliness, isolation and domestic violence; and the remedy of all other medical conditions, from cancer and central disease to toothache.

So let’s move on to the side.

The faster, the better.

1. It is attractive to note that the Dominican Republic now has a GDP consistent with GDP in PPAs than that of the United States in 1937, adjusted for inflation. (PPA – purchasing force parity).

2. Asness noted the aptitude and economic facets of the emergency, rising that “economic hazards put the fitness of vulnerable people at risk”. To that, it would rise that we are all vulnerable if the economic damage is significant enough.
