Epidemiologists and virologists have recommended home-quarantine measures and general lockdowns to slow down the spread of the virus and flatten the infection curve. These social-distancing measures have been perceived as necessary to avoid overloading hospital capacity and its tragic\/ethical consequences. By preventing workers from working and consumers from consuming, lockdown measures are likely to lead to a severe recession. This being said, a vast majority of economists \u2013 who are sometimes criticized for developing dehumanized models \u2013 have unanimously supported these measures, placing human factors above all and defining the containment of the pandemic as the utmost priority.<\/p><p>In this note, RECOV id &#8211; a group of economists based in Luxembourg who join forces to assist the Task Force for the Coordination of the Public Research Sector in the Context of the Covid-19 Pandemic\u00a0(Work Package 7 led by Aline Muller, CEO of the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research\u00a0(LISER)) &#8211; aims to rough out the subject and provide knowledge on the economic issues related to the Covid-19 crisis and to suggest plans of actions to mitigate economic damages from Covid-19.
