I'm with samizdis on this one. Covid is a black swan event. Solving problems unique to it (like toilet paper and ventilator shortages, mass work from home implementation, etd.) is probably an economic non-starter as a result. Instead we should be looking at solving the other problems that it exposed globally:
- Fragility of single-country supply chains
- Lack of a real social safety nets in many countries
- Lack of focus on personal hygiene on a day-to-day basis
- Non-sustainability of debt-based economic growth
- Lack of childcare choices for many families, especially when both parents have to work to pay the bills
- Disconnect between local wages and local cost of living in many cities for non-rich workers
Etc.
