Disruption Without Change: The Consequences of COVID-19 on the Global Economic Balance

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic disrupted the global economy and international relations in ways that are still developing. As of January 31, 2020, there were fewer than 10,000 confirmed cases worldwide. By August 31, 2021, there were more than 217.71 million confirmed cases and 4.52 million confirmed deaths.1 The number of cases is likely an undercount because of limited testing, although there is uncertainty around the number of deaths because of both limited testing and challenges in attribution. For example, one analysis estimates that the number of cases in China in January 2020 was actually 37 times higher than the number reported.2
