This week’s cover story highlights the point that Covid-19 is likely to become a widespread disease – and that governments must start preparing immediately. Vaccination brings enormous benefits. After giving 147 million vaccine doses, there is evidence that vaccination reduces the number of cases of Covid-19, greatly reduces the number of deaths and hospital admissions, and limits transmission. However, the virus cannot be eradicated. The task of vaccinating the whole world is too big. Too many people reject vaccines, and the virus is constantly creating new strains of the virus. For these reasons, governments need to figure out when and how to move from contingency measures to policies that are economically and socially sustainable. The transition will be difficult especially in countries like China, which have invested heavily to be free of Covid.
On the subject of vaccinations starts The Economist a new podcast from February 15th. The Jab is a weekly podcast series where experts talk about vaccine distribution, challenges and hopes, and shed light on the topic from political, economic and social perspectives. The Trailer you can listen to it now.
