The exact trajectory of COVID-19 is very uncertain, but it is likely to span over several years, even in the event of an effective vaccine. The medium and long-term economic and social impacts of the pandemic will differ across countries and societies. The Wellcome Trust brought together a group of scientists and social scientists to explore these longer-term consequences in four science scenarios which are played out in different economic, social and political contexts. The resulting article is in pre-print with The Lancet. In this webinar some of the contributing authors and two discussants examine the findings and their implications.

Panellists:

Caroline Buckee, Associate Professor, Harvard University
Astrid Haas, Policy Director, International Growth Centre, LSE/Oxford
Edward Holmes, Professor, University of Sydney
Gabriel Leung, Dean, Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, University of Hong Kong
