Aborda ejemplos de distintas medidas que algunos países han tomado para frenar la pandemia y la crisis que la acompaña, y analiza sus resultados en cuanto a contagios y consecuencias económicas. Plantea que para tomar medidas contra la crisis se deben considerar las lecciones de la crisis financiera de 2008, con el fin de no caer en los mismos errores, aminorar sus efectos negativos y obtener mejores resultados a largo plazo.]]></p></abstract>

It analyzes different examples of measures taken by some countries in order to stop the pandemic and the economic crisis that goes with it, and evaluates their results regarding the spreading of the disease and its economic consequences. It suggests that to take a step against the crisis, the lessons from the financial crisis of 2008 have to be taken into account in order to not make the same mistakes, lessen the negative effects and have better results in the long term.]]></p></abstract>
