=What is already known=
* There are not yet formal 'Lessons learned' this early in the Pandemic

=Keeping Track of the Economic Burden=
==Observations==
* From previous Pandemics, we learned gradually what the burden to society has been.
* Currently, we observe reluctance of leaders to take far-reaching decisions, moving very carefully forward, guided day by day by 'how the situation evolves'.

==Analysis and interpretation==
* Far-reaching interventions may be necessary, but difficult to take because the '''costs''' of those decisions are more visible to the leaders than the '''benefits''' that interventions may have.
* creating evidence of economic costs to society of pandemics, especially in comparison of different interventions, will be very helpful in training leaders to be prepared for future challenges

==Consequences for action==
* Collect materials for a case study on economic costs of the pandemic

 *Apart from the direct cost from illness and mortality that mainly affects the health sector, there is the indirect cost from "aversion" behaviour (measures taken to prevent
 infection). A unique situation in developed countries.
