Economic Impact of COVID-19

By the time the COVID-19 pandemic subsided, a new world had emerged. Businesses that had been considered the lifeblood of American commerce were failing, and the economy was bracing for a long and difficult recovery.

For most people, the COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges. The stress of lockdowns and the anxiety over the future has taken its toll on all of us, but one group has not just been sidelined by the crisis, they have been left out of the conversation entirely: the world's poor.

When a country like the United States goes to war, it is common for the country to rally around its troops, offering thoughts, prayers, and respect for the sacrifices made. But when the economy goes to war on its own citizens, there is no rallying cry, no support network, and no much-needed respite for those who have lost everything.

The COVID-19 crisis has shone a glaring light on the economic inequalities that exist in our society. It has revealed that the rich are not only getting richer, but they are also being insulated from the economic hardships faced by the poor and the working class.

The fact that people are being forced into poverty due to the pandemic while the rich are getting richer is a clear sign that we need to fundamentally rethink our economic system.

This shameful situation can be changed, but only if we all take action.
