The novel coronavirus outbreak has starkly exposed inequalities worldwide and could set back human development for the first time since 1990, the United Nations said on Wednesday.
It said the crisis had, though, revealed the strength of collective action in the face of a common threat and urged the world to show the same force on climate change.
“The Covid-19 pandemic is unleashing a human development crisis,” the UN Development Programme (UNDP) said in a report.
Other shocks – such as the financial crisis of 2007-2009 or the Ebola outbreak in West Africa in 2014-2016 – have dealt a blow but did not prevent year-on-year development gains overall, said UNDP head Achim Steiner.
“Covid-19 – with its triple hit to health, education, and income – may change this trend,” he added.

I think that the virus has done NOTHING.
Our over-reaction and fear has caused us to shoot ourselves in the foot, but I expect us to bounce back pretty quick. We need to get rid of the globalists so that they stop trying to create an environment of constant panic over everything.
South China morning post.....BWAHAHAHA
UN Bwahahahaha
What a dumb essay.
I refuse to read any UN article but I’ve already noticed a significant reversal in human development. For the most part, if it hits the right population, I’m ok with it.
Back door agenda 21 policy, culling the herd
Killing babies and things like that trannie Pennsylvania health director reversed human development long before this disease.
Oh, it the UN saying this? 99.9% of the people that sit there are a minimum of 30 years behind in human development already.
The UN says??? LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would have to see how the UN defines “development”. I doubt it means the same thing to them as to us.
“It said the crisis had, though, revealed the strength of collective action in the face of a common threat and urged the world to show the same force on climate change.”........ I see the U.N. still showing their backside to the world. The sooner we are rid of that worthless group, the better.
It has reversed human development with the emergence of Karen’s everywhere.

20 May: Thomson Reuters Foundation: Pandemic may reverse human development for first time in 30 years, UN says

UNDP said the coronavirus pandemic demonstrated it was possible for people to rally together in confronting threats - a lesson that could be applied to climate change.
“If we needed proof of concept that humanity can respond collectively to a shared global challenge, we are now living through it,” the report said.

The use of “could” should warn anyone who sees it in a statement to ignore the statement as a claim that cannot be proved.
Leftists have been doing this in the past several decades all on their own.
