The Rising Costs of China ’s Zero-COVID Policy
In mid-May, I traveled from London to Slovenia to interview the Ukrainian men’s soccer team on their bid to reach November’s Qatar World Cup. It was a four-day assignment, requiring travel via train stations, airports, and taxi ranks—but at no point was I asked to show a negative COVID-19 test, my vaccination status, nor even to wear a facemask.

It was equally refreshing and disconcerting—as if Europe had forgotten that the pandemic had ever happened and was indeed still happening.

Trust between people – not in government or institutions – is key to limiting damage in a pandemic, our research showsThomas Hale is an associate professor of public policy at Oxford UniversityIn 2019, theGlobal Health Security Index published a report ranking countries on their preparedness for pandemics.
