We are constantly adjusting our COVID tracker to provide the most useful information as the situation evolves. Our latest update looks at daily rather than cumulative cases and provides a heatmap scaled by population. Spain and Switzerland have recorded the biggest daily increases while the US looks worrying given the increasing momentum.
For our regular curated blogs, we feature Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen on what the Fed should do to help contain the crisis, former IMF Chief Economist Raghuram Rajan on why global leadership is needed to truly contain the virus and Norman Lamont on why the UK needs helicopter money to help the self-employed.
We also feature an interesting article on COVID-19 means for the future of cash, a worst-case scenario for coronavirus based on findings from the Spanish flu and a suggested roadmap for the G20.
We have also added podcasts to our Tuesday curations. We feature Goldman Sachs for a market take on how the coronavirus compares to the global financial crisis, Claudia Sahm on why direct payments to households are an effective fiscal tool and Adam Tooze on Europe’s response to the crisis.
We’ve also made all our curated content (Top Picks and Podcast Playlists) viewable without the need to log in.
