- Topic: The Global Coronavirus Recession (GCR) hit the US economy with tremendous force. We anticipate GDP will shrink by 12% this year – roughly three times larger than the output loss during the 2008-09 Global Financial Crisis, and the biggest economic contraction since 1946. With nearly 30 million job losses as a result of the coronavirus shock, the Fed and Congress have passed unprecedented stimulus measures. What should we expect for the US economy in this new normal?

This became clear early in the outbreak, and it still holds true.(...)"

Interview With Anahad O’Connor, Young Leader '12
|
|
Anahad O'Connor,
author and reporter who writes about consumer health for
The New York Times,
and American Young Leader '12 discusses health and wellness during the COVID-19 crisis.
Q. You did an
interview with us in 2019
about your role as a NYTimes journalist reporting on the intersection of health, nutrition, and science. Has your focus changed since the start of COVID-19?
