Economic Effect
Supply Shortages are expected to affect a number of sectors due to panic buying, increased usage of goods to fight the pandemic, and disruption to factories and logistics in mainland China. There have been instances of price gouging. There have been widespread reports of shortages of pharmaceuticals, with many areas seeing panic buying and consequent shortages of food and other essential grocery items.The technology industry, in particular, has been warning about delays to shipments of electronic goods.
Political Effect
An infectious disease outbreak turning into a global pandemic has long been on the radar of public health experts and government agencies, who have sounded dire warnings about the likelihood and impact of such an event. The pandemic is now here. It has exposed fraught national public healthcare systems as well as the sharp divides in global politics. It has sparked debates, pitching globalism versus nativism and populist governments versus experts, while the policies of many global leaders have become inward looking. All of this is distracting from the concerted global response required to curb the corona virus.
Strong global initiatives are required to trace and detect cases; fund not-for-profit scientific research into vaccines and cures; and achieve a balance between travel restrictions and necessary trade. However, such initiatives have been discredited in recent years, by political agendas undermining the concept of globalization. The growing geopolitical fragmentation since the global financial crisis – with a world increasingly multi polar and with competing ‘value-systems’ – have weakened the role of the global institutions precisely designed to coordinate a response.
