the Total loss to the global economy from a pandemic in 2020-2021 years will amount to more than $ 12 trillion, suggests the Agency.
“an Incredible figure, given that a year ago nobody would come from to even suggest anything about the possibility of such a disaster, nor the magnitude of the losses associated with it,” says Shostak.
