two critically ill patients but just one ventilator. That is the choice which could confront hospital staff in New York, Paris and London in the coming weeks, just as it has in Lombardy and Madrid. Triage demands agonising decisions . Medics have to say who will be treated and who must go without: who might live and who will probably die.
Their complexity is growing as more countries are stricken by covid-19. In the week to April 1st the tally of reported cases doubled: it is now nearing 1m. America has logged well over 200,000 cases and has seen 55% more deaths than China. On March 30th President Donald Trump warned of “three weeks like we’ve never seen before”. The strain on America’s health system may not peak for some weeks
In India the Modi government decided that its priority was speed. Perhaps as a result it has fatally bungled the shutdown. It did not think about migrant workers who have streamed out of the cities, spreading the disease among themselves and carrying it back to their villages . In addition, the lockdown will be harder to pull off than in rich countries, because the state’s capacity is more limited.
For two weeks Mr Trump speculated that the cure might be worse than the “problem itself”. Putting a dollar figure on life shows he was wrong. Shutting the economy will cause huge economic damage. Models suggest that letting covid-19 burn through the population would do less, but lead to perhaps 1m extra deaths. You can make a full accounting, using the age-adjusted official value of each life saved.
What's up with the imagery?
Give us free money
WW1 & WW2 the young sent to war millions died . The ones that came back pushed on and built the world we live in . 2020 young told to sit on the couch heavy burden on them . 🤷♂️
Systemic analysis is definitely needed but which road to take is up to each country-with the government listening to the people. Some may value economy more than lives, we don’t know. But then a lockdown may not be totally bad. The analysis should be as comprehensive as possible
This is the sign of times, we need to FlattenTheCurve as the younger generations are missing many skips that our esteemed generations implore. Our lives are important and we will save lives and livelihoods.
They had it coming. They hate old people.
WW2 imposed a heavy burden on the young!

Agreed - we need a Pandemic Response Plan
When Churches get profit
There is no pandemic. It’s a con
Focusing on only one side of the equation that affects society while ignoring the other is extremist, delusional and irresponsible. Considering both the virus & the trade-offs is not only NOT hard-headed, it's the only rational response.
I DEMAND THE GOV'T REPLACE EVERY WORKERS INCOME, UNTIL COVID-19 IS WIPED OUT. The coronavirus is an act of nature. Nobody in 🇺🇸 Is responsible for the pandemic. Therefore,our gov't should Make sure every worker who lost his/her job continue to receive their Regular compensation
At the end of the day economy is not about life and death?
It is easy LIFE. The entire world system is wrong. YOU FAILED ILUMINATIS
provide a lousy subscriber service, I have been weeks without access to the magazine and without response, but the charges are made immediately
Nurse florence nıghtıngal covid-19 typifies!!
'America has logged well over 200,000 cases and has seen 55% more deaths than China.' Really ? taking China's reported numbers at face value...

It will be even more harder.. if this lockdown doesn’t get over
Where is the promisedsaviour who is going to rescue the world,we need him more than ever
Covid-19, agent of NWO.
The big lie.
Shame on you.
A hard calculus
Question: With the covid-19 pandemic project, paganist global capital is trying to put itself in the place of god by building a reformed human society by fighting war against religious religions (Judaism, Christianity and Muslims).
Physical money will be eliminated, it will be a single digital world currency, and they will force us to adopt the new world order....
Don't play God because you are NOT decisions are made in heavens!!!!!!
Is that a church
Government production & distribution of the needs of survival would ensure that lockdown periods didnt tank the UK economy or state budget as a whole. In the long run a switch to supply side social welfare reduces inflation,removes living costs & creates a route to build capital.
i appreciate how y'all got rid of the phrase ', ultimately,' (from the email) in your tweet :)
ImranKhanPTI sir please choose life and economy will follow.
One thing is very clear that corona is not a disease it is a weapon to destroy the world Timing of corona is very interesting Oil crises between russia and ksa at its top. So many things are behind this Corona save american oil compnies due to trade is hold all over world
even russians can't understand what's going on in Russia, where democracy is fake, parliament fake too, the quarantine here is also unofficial, Putin even called it 'vacation'. It looks like a state supported coup, because 30 official dead (in all country) cannot be reason for
The Economist is trying hard with other INVISIBLE POWERS to bring NEW WORLD ORDER in the world. Don't forget GOD IS WATCHING ALL OF YOU.
The Economist - Mouthpiece for the global elite In the next fun episode can we have the Rothschild/Rockefeller family just for once get obscene amounts of bailout money from their captured govts who get it from their captured slaves Ahhh Satan Shekel Shalom Shpit
destroying the economy = death for many in the contemporary networked/global economy it takes a few weeks for broken economic chains to be realized people will feel it this month if lockdown doesn't stop by the end of April people will suffer harshly in May
