Gordon Brown, Erik Berglöf, and Jeremy Farrar: Only an international coalition can defeat the coronavirus

Global co-operation is urgently required if lives are to be saved and economic depression averted, say Gordon Brown, Erik Berglöf, and Jeremy Farrar.

Leaders from medicine, economics, politics, and civil society are uniting to demand international action in the next few days to mobilise the resources to address the COVID-19 crisis, prevent it from becoming one of the worst health catastrophes in history, and avert a global depression. We are so far behind the COVID-19 curve that lives are being lost needlessly, other health issues are being ignored, and societies and economies are being devastated.
