Why epidemiologists and economists keep arguing over health Vs economy when epidemiologists say there is no trade off between health and economy, lots of economists just shake their heads in disagreement? Let’s try to analyse and understand it.
Facts:
To oversimplify think of epidemiologists as experts who have spent their entire careers preparing to understand and suppress rapidly spreading diseases. Their distinctive intellectual bent is to build models of transmission and then develop real world intervention to change the expected outcome. Their core value is preserving public health while on the other hand, to oversimplify think of economists or to be more precise macroeconomists, as experts who have spent their entire careers preparing to understand and suppress rapidly going down economy, they, too, have their models – theories are supposed to predict how the economy work. And they, too are focused on interventions with the potential to improve outcomes.
Both types of experts are suggestive &/ advising to the decision making authority not the implementing agencies. The opinions &/ views of the both are correct at their places.
My Reaction:
Crises were started in the fields of public health so the epidemiologists were consulted and their advices were followed by the government and their law and order enforcement agencies first.
The isolation and lock down was the best proven way to overcome/ combat the covid 19 pandemics along with other cautions, precautions, preventive measures and effective treatment methods. But, unfortunately, the pandemics couldn’t get combatted even after several months. It might be because of different approaches or methods in different ways by different types of law and order enforcing intectuals and governing systems in different countries with different types of severities and results as well. Hence the isolation could not work well.
As time passed with lock down and unproductiveness, economists started bothering about the economic crises, so they in turn, started advising governments to allow people to work from the home even in the isolation but since the world was never prepared &/ equipped before to work or produce products and services or to do trade from the home during the isolative conditions such as covid 19 pandemics. So people couldn’t work as much as required to uphold the economy.
The economy of the majority of countries has almost gone down very steeply during the pandemics during last several months without productive work due to the lock down &/ trade off decision. Now people and their governments have already started facing economic crises. It seems too difficult to support life without resuming the routine productive work as normal. It is the question of survival of the humanity on the earth either ways.
There is one and only known effective way to combat the covid 19 pandemics which is the isolation and treatment but if people don’t work institutionally, they can’t buy their food and other essential needs to survive. Hence, they should work anyway.
There must be a novel and effective approach &/ work protocol to work individually or institutionally with all measures of not spreading the covid 19 any more…
