Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic constitutes one of the greatest medical, social, economic and political challenges for the last decades. Millions have been infected, hundred thousands have died and the economic loss reaches totals that are gigantic even for macro economists used to big numbers. Within a short period of time an enormous number of far-reaching decisions have to be made within a highly complex system of interdependent virological, pharmaceutical, behavioural, legal, social and economic frameworks.
