Seite - 27 - in VULNERABLE - The Law, Policy and Ethics of COVID-19

27Introduction for a pandemic. The solution to the health, economic, and social crises COVID-19 has precipitated is not to become more insular. Rather, it is to recognize that our future is co- determined with others, and to seize the benefits of our interconnectedness within and across countries. We hope this book, focused on vulnerability, will motivate responses and recovery plans with social justice as a central concern in addition to controlling infections and restarting the economy.
