the other hand, emerging markets, the pandemic is in full force. caribbean, sub-saharan africa, south asia, a significant increase in the number of infections. limited health service capacity and testing capacity. so we have a limited understanding of the gravity of the pandemic in these regions. beyond the short-term, the pandemic will have long-term implications. there are large losses and output levels and they will not be recouped next year when growth comes back. in fact, if it happened during the 2009 global recession, we are not going to go back to pandemic numbers anytime soon. these types of deeper sessions and have long-lasting scars onative effects productivity. another important consequence of is how the global economy will generate growth. it will be constrained by the devastating shock we are going through. , long-terme pandemic downwardowth had been since the global financial crisis. the010, forecasters thought global economy 10 years ahead would generate growth about 3.3%. below 3% ineclined 2014 and now it sits around 2.4%. in all

we need it before the pandemic and especially now. if the wealthiest of americans contribute the same percentage of their income as everyone else, we could increase the benefits for current and future retirees and strengthen the system's solvency. that will help make ends meet and strengthen the economy. the notch issue. the pandemic has created a new social security issue for one particular group of older americans. those who turn 60 in 2020. without congressional action, everyone who is born in 1960 who received 5.9% lower social security benefits when they retire than people born in 1959. this has been called the notch problem. most americans know their individual benefit amount reflects their earning history. including an aggregate figure for total wages in a given year. since the wages typically rise every year, this is not usually a major issue, but the number of jobs lost to the virus recession means these people will pay a steep price down the road and that will have a harmful and permanent effect regardless whether they worke

including a pandemic. u.s. is deeply involved in many aspects of health as well as those that impact health. and of course, a humanitarian responses. cdc is the premier government health organization in the world. it is the only agency on spans domestic and global engagement including pandemics. and is involved with and provides technical support to and is up to and respected by governments and institutions in the high middle and low-income countries. and we must be involved with the three country is no. cdc is built for what is most built for the global response. however more than this, the national apparatus is needed to first noted. the requirement complicates both a full coordination from the department of state. in that regard is important to note that this proposal identified the national security council, has been noted. perhaps more opportunities legislation which is now unprecedented. multilateral perspective on the world has come together and created the global health agenda. however, gh essay is not

coming into the covid pandemic. tension between the two largest economy in the world and trade tension between u.s. and many of its other major trading partners. so investment is already weak. business confidence was weak. one thing that happened in 2008-2009 financial crisis was the g20 did stand together and say we will do things to try and control the negative effects of this financial crisis. what is remarkable is this time we have had national governments, central banks stepping up to the plate as joyce pointed out, even more dramatically than they did during the crisis. but i think at a time like this the sense that there is a concerted strategy both of the domestic level and at the global levels is really important in bringing back business confidence, consumer confidence. we haven't quite seen that happen partly because of lack of u.s. leadership but also because the pandemic seems to have become an important pastime of national leaders rather than getting to grips with the problems that we face at the natio

pandemic almost answers your question, because pandemic means "all." it essentially is global. if you are going to talk about identifying, responding to, and containing pandemics, you have got to think globally. can't think in the vacuum of your own country. international relationships, transparency, agreements to have things like global health security network, which we try to have, those are all critical to an adequate response. we have so many examples of when those things were not optimal, that our response was slowed and we could have done better. couple of students involved in the study of foreign service. if there is anything of a challenge that requires international cooperation, it is a pandemic by the very definition of what a pandemic is. mo: thanks for the question and welcome to georgetown. next up, we've got hunter. i am a rising senior at georgetown. i am currently in new haven, connecticut. seems weon is, it still don't know whether having had the virus confers community. when will -- confers immunity? when will we find out? could it mean you get more sick if yo

>> in communications of the pandemic, it requires significance.it's both back to this issue of counterfeit area and i talk about this global recession and that global recession they're expecting five percent contraction. we come out your thinking it would be four percent, or warsaw says it could be eight percent. depending on these outcomes the number of poor is increased anywhere between 70 to 100 million this year. just look at the first time after a number of years we see an increase in the number of poor globally. and of course, with the deep recession, the health crisis and around the world there are these gains in the global economy has been able to adjust in the context of global objectives and i think that we are going to lose a significant share of those states so there is short-term damage. beyond the short-term damage when you look at the long-term consequences of one important issue is how this pandemic will affect potential growth. the ability of these economies to generate growth and they are really concerned . eswar mentioned the co

and second, the coronavirus pandemic. both these developments have had and will continue to have an impact on indian news and approaches towards china, the united states, and the international order. andber 2019, xi jinping narendra modi sought to stressed sino indian corporation, however, the pandemic and boundary crisis have demonstrated that despite efforts to engage over the last few decades, china-india relationship remains a fundamentally and increasingly competitive relationship that can -- into conflict. theboundary crisis and pandemic -- there continues to be debate about the motivations. covid-19 might have had an impact. at the strategic level, the boundary crisis is part of a battle of chinese assertiveness on a number of fronts. ity are divided on whether stems from xi jinping wanting to show strength because of concerns about domestic and international criticism against regime's handling of the beijing's desire to take advantage of other countries including the united states being on the back foot or distrac

we're in the midst of a pandemic. which means one of the worst crises the human race will ever have, so it's very important that our leaders actually lead. and in order to lead, you need to all come together, both dr. fauci and president trump, it's time to put things aside and even if people were off or wrong or correct, who cares? we have to talk about today and tomorrow. and what we do know, which is a fact, is that the numbers are rising, and more people are going to die. so we really need to address this now. >> yeah. yeah, a lot of people saying there has been no national leadership all along, and that's creating its own problems. you mentioned the numbers. let's talk about those. just look at the state of florida, more than 15,000 new cases sunday, the highest of any state at all during the pandemic. bigger than most countries, we should point out, today. what are your biggest concerns when you look at the overall covid landscape right now? >> the big concern is this is a train that once it starts moving, it's

and this has been exacerbated by the pandemic. individuals especially in that situation situation, they depend on face-to-face contact with someone at social security or at least someone they can talk to. and i don't know if you've ever tried to call the 800 number, but if you have, you're going to be on hold for a very long time. so, i think having more resources, as sean mentioned, devoted to this, would go a long way. also, i have heard recommend recommendations of social security to partner with some non-profits in the area to help in advising those who want to claim ssi, ssdi how, how to maneuver, how to navigate the system. i hope they'll take that up as drew ferguson iv well. >> and congressman, mr. ferguson is recognized. rep. ferguson: thank you, mr. chairman, and ranking member reed, i want to thank you for your leadership. i think we all agree the worst thing that any of us could do is not to act on this issue. if you want to see real harm done to americans, let's not do anything and see what happens. so i always want t

that's when the pandemic really hit our shores. >> the world health organization declaring it a pandemic. >> the nba suspending its season until final notice. >> the financial market in free fall, the worse day since 1987. >> my fellow americans, to keep new cases from entering our shores, we will be suspending all travel from europe to the united states for the next 30 days. >> he misstated the nature of the travel. he said he was banning everyone. that led to a panic. it led to thousands of thousands of people coming back from europe who didn't need to come back. >> people ended up in those crowded hallways for a long period of time. many were exposed and have passed because of their exposure, waiting to clear customs. >> by the time we realized the threat in europe we shut down travel to europe. there was already two or three weeks of 60,000 people every day of people coming back from europe. >> hotspots flared up in parts of the country, and testing efforts continued to falter. >> the u.s. badly trailed the world in march on the testing situation. >> new york city quickly became the

this pandemic could no longer be hidden.ientists was sent to wuhan. their evidence would give beijing the cover to finally tell the truth about human—to—human transmission. the sars expert professor yuen, who'd diagnosed the shenzhen cluster, was on the team. the team quizzed wuhan officials about the market where beijing said the virus had firstjumped to humans. they told me that the place was very dirty, a lot of animal faecal material, extremely foul smelling, rats running around. the market had been closed nearly three weeks earlier and completely disinfected. samples had been taken, but not from all the animals. the team worried that if the virus had jumped to humans here, crucial evidence was now lost. when we went to the huanan seafood market, of course, there is nothing to see because the market was clean already. so, you may say that the crime scene is already disturbed. because the seafood market was cleared, we cannot identify the animal host which has given the virus to human. professor yuen also says local offic

to handle the pandemic. he needs to be taken much more seriously on the pandemic. you can see it right now, on your screen. bide biden, 53. trump, 38. he needs to be trusted more on the coronavirus. if he can't turn his numbers around on the coronavirus, chris, he is going to lose. that much, i am certain of. >> so harry's theory is that because the pandemic has become such an overwhelming issue, take a look at these big three and the latest numbers out. that really is the headline of this. minnesota, michigan, pennsylvania. all right. 51, 38. 49, 40. 50, 39. biden was not playing that way, in any of those places, just a few months ago. not to this degree, anyway. do you think this race now -- i don't know what else could happen, honestly. i don't know what, god forbid, would have to happen to trump, no pun intended, the pandemic. but do you think -- on people's perceptions of the pandemic? >> absolutely. you look where there was a big non-economic issue that was at play, whether it be the korean war in '52, the vietnam war in '68, the iranian hostage crisis in '80

it is a new way to look at pandemics. i do not think any of us thought that 80% of the cases would be in high and upper income countries. mortality,of the probably 90%, is in those countries. probably due to comorbidities, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity in the net states aired -- obesity in the united states. i will give you a snapshot of the first three questions i am sending to the ambassadors. i know you have limited time, so take two or one of them. each of them i know is important to you. i will lay them out. let us know when your time is up. the first is the issue of vaccine nationalism. once a vaccine is discovered, is there a way to distribute it fairly and equitably, or will it be every nation for itself? second, it the question of china. the australian ambassador is with us. they have asked for an international investigation. where are we in our relationship with china? in the third, and you have touched this already, but as you look around the world that have been -- the world at the countries that have be
