Recommendation

The COVID-19 pandemic, which killed millions and created worldwide economic havoc, was entirely preventable, according to the independent World Health Organization Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response. The Rt. Hon. Helen Clark, former prime minister of New Zealand, and Nobelist Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, president of Liberia, headed the panel. A virus caused the illness, but poor planning and weak decision-making caused the crisis, the panel found. The panel’s report explains how society can and must act now to prevent the next virus that emerges from wreaking similar havoc.

Take-Aways

  • The devastating COVID-19 pandemic was preventable.
  • The world’s primary task is to end the current pandemic.
  • The world was unprepared for COVID-19.
