Fast and plenty of money


The key concern is to safe lives. All the efforts should take that as a priority. And make sure that the infection trend is bent and starts pointing down. The sooner we change the trend the better. It will send a message of hope. And that type of message is urgently needed.

The economy is the other dimension we must consider. We cannot find ourselves surviving the disease and dying of the treatment. The productive tissue must remain as intact as possible. Firms and jobs must be helped. They will require major injections of fresh capital. The leaders should keep sending the message that money will not be a problem.
