| Resumen: | There can be little doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic is a huge threat to the world’s poor. There is, of course, the direct threat from the new coronavirus, to be taken seriously by everyone. But there are other threats looming too, and some no less worrying. What should the developing world be doing? There are lessons from the rich world’s experience (including its mistakes). There are also aspects of the realities of life in poor places that need to be considered. Some of the policies found in rich countries are not feasible in poor places or have fewer benefits relative to the costs. New challenges are emerging as the virus spreads into the developing world. |
