新冠肺炎大流行既造成了医疗危机，也造成了经济危机。正如其他人所指出的那样，我们面临的挑战就像西班牙流感大流行和大萧条一样大——同时发生。政策制定者面临的任务非常艰巨。迫切需要许多新的干预措施。本期《牛津经济政策评论》有两个目标。首先是探索这些新的干预措施：评估它们的使用，建议如何改进它们，并提出替代方案。第二是表明我们面临的挑战是全球性的，如果要有效地应对这些挑战，就需要国际合作。这篇简短的介绍性文章将本期的论文置于一个总体概念框架内，目的是讲述有关大流行的总体故事。
The COVID-19 pandemic has created both a medical crisis and an economic crisis. As others have noted, we face challenges just as big as those in the Spanish Flu Pandemic and the Great Depression-all at once. The tasks facing policy-makers are extraordinary. Many new kinds of intervention are urgently required. This issue of the Oxford Review of Economic Policy has two objectives. The first is to explore these new interventions: evaluating their use, suggesting how they might be improved, and proposing alternatives. The second is to show that the challenges facing us are global and will require international cooperation if they are to be dealt with effectively. This short introductory essay positions the papers in the issue within an overall conceptual framework, with the aim of telling an overarching story about the pandemic.
