Avoiding the Slow Growth Path

Covid-19 leaves scars on our faces. We feel it. The scar will carry over for a long time. It will live in our behavior, as well as in our economy.

The wound is an experience. It is not knowledge. Those who have watched William Shakespeare\'s Romeo and Juliet may remember a line from Romeo: "He jests at scars that never felt a wound."

Romeo wanted to say: it would be easy to make fun of someone\'s pain if we didn’t experience it. He was right. We may have knowledge of previous pandemics, but we will only understand after experiencing one ourselves. Covid-19 leaves scars on our faces. We feel it. The scar will carry over for a long time. It will live in our behavior, as well as in our economy.
