Challenges for the Beleaguered Health Care Workforce During COVID-19
David Cutler
Abstract
Two years after it first appeared, COVID-19 continues to affect the population's health and the world economy. The good news is that recent waves of COVID-19 appear less likely to cause severe cases of disease compared with prior waves. As the health situation has improved, the economy has recovered as well-though only partially. A tremendous amount of dislocation remains, and working through the economic situation will be challenging.
