The coronavirus pandemic has, among other things, exposed the vulnerabilities of political systems worldwide: While democracies are being tested as citizens bristle at perceived threats to their civil liberties, the harsh measures enacted by authoritarian regimes might have saved thousands if not millions of lives. The historic shock the coronavirus has dealt to economies and markets might be matched only by its rattling effects on global politics. Ultimately, though, infections respect no borders, and Covid-19 is already reshaping how we — as countries, as governments, as populations — respond to crisis.
