Pandemics are connected in important ways to global warming. Both are invisible in themselves, but have destructive and deadly consequences. When they take hold, they are virtually unstoppable. And they are linked at the root.

The second point is that we are indeed experiencing a two-speed recovery as many people have pointed out, but there are some unique features as compared to previous recoveries.
