Abstract

This COVID-19 crisis has been a shock to us all. While the epidemiological issues rage on, and economic uncertainties rising, it has become clear that this crisis is much more than a contraction.

It will take some concerted effort for to not succumb to their natural proclivity to simply repeat what has always worked for them in the past.
