U.S. Economic Response to Pandemic Hit the Mark

Vox: “No country handled the economic shock of Covid-19 perfectly. Every country, the US included, made mistakes, sometimes grave mistakes. But a detailed comparison suggests that the US had the strongest economic response to the pandemic, in terms of providing income to its citizens during lockdown and ensuring a strong, rapid recovery as the economy began to reopen.”

Said Obama adviser Jason Furman: “The US will come out of this economically better than any country that was similarly affected by the virus.”
