新冠肺炎极大地改变了世界每个角落的生活。这种致命的传染病已经引发了封锁、保持不同程度的社交距离，导致大部分公共生活陷入停滞。所有国家都在许多不同的方面受到一定的影响。在经济影响方面，美国的失业率创下新高。

But people living in low- and middle-income countries have been hit especially hard by the COVID downturn—to the point that nearly half of them may now face some level of foodinsecurity—according to a study published on Friday in Science Advances. Mobarak and an international group of colleagues quickly mobilized to investigate how the pandemic was affecting livelihoods in low- and middle-income countries—where a lack of broad social safety nets often makes people especially vulnerable to the effects of a decline in economic activity.

“What the study makes clear is that the economic shock of COVID was very large andubiquitousacross low-income and middle-income countries,” Mobarak says. “What was surprising was, despite the hugevariationin the different types of samples that we have, you find really consistent patterns: large drops in income and employment across the board.”

穆巴拉克说：“这项研究清晰地表明，新冠病毒造成的经济冲击非常大，且在低收入和中等收入国家普遍存在。”“令人惊讶的是，尽管我们手上不同类型的样本之间存在巨大的差异，但你会发现非常一致的规律：收入和就业率普遍大幅下降。”

Mobarak says that these findings highlight the need for rich countries to pay attention to the pandemic’s global effects. “If people don’t have enough to eat, they’re


not going to be able to abide by social distancing guidelines—they’re going to go to crowded markets and try to find work,” he adds.

穆巴拉克说，这些发现强调了一点，富裕国家需要关注这种疫情的全球影响。“如果人们连饭都吃不上，他们就更不会遵守保持社交距离准则——他们将去拥挤的市场，想要找到工作，”他补充说。

“If the world doesn’tget a handle onthe pandemic globally, it’s never going away—variants are going to emerge and reenter oursystems. That means the rich countries need to think about not just how to control the virus within their own borders but what is needed to support poor countries as well.”

“如果各国不能在全球范围内控制疫情，这种病毒就永远不会消失——变种病毒会不断出现并再次进入我们的系统。这意味着富裕国家不仅需要思考如何控制住本国病毒的传播，还需要思考如何帮助贫困国家控制疫情。”
