There is something unique about the COVID crisis. Unlike previous shocks like 9/11 or various market crashes, it is difficult to point to a singular event. Maybe, if one day we learn the truth about how it started, the day when the coronavirus leaped out of the Wuhan Lab or the one when a pangolin gave it to a chinese farmer, we will be able to point to this instant and label it as “the start of the COVID crisis”. But even then, the COVID crisis is more of the nature of a slow burning process than of a brutal impact. It is more insidious and harder to spot because you cannot pin down a specific instant. If you had to describe when the common approach to pandemics changed from having localized (in time and space) lockdown to a global policy, you are facing a complex task. You need to analyze many public speeches over weeks etc.
