As this issue of ECFR is going to press, we are all hunkering down at home, dealing with the enormous human, economic, social and political costs of the pandemic that has disrupted the world; coping with a new way of life; and wondering, with a mix of anguish and hope, when the health emergency will abate, what world we will find, and how we will work toward reconstruction. In many countries the virus has already taken a painful toll of lives and plunged the economy into a dire state. While some countries have been hit harder than others, we are bracing for the possible effects of this aggressive malady in parts of the world less equipped to contain and recover from it.

随着这一期ECFR即将出版，我们大家都在家中徘徊，应对这场破坏世界的大流行所造成的巨大人力，经济，社会和政治代价。应对新的生活方式；并充满痛苦和希望，想知道何时医疗紧急情况将减轻，我们将找到什么样的世界，以及我们将如何努力进行重建。在许多国家，该病毒已经造成了惨重的生命损失，并使经济陷入了严重的困境。虽然有些国家受到的打击比其他国家还要大，但我们正在为这种侵略性疾病在世界上没有能力控制和从其中恢复过来的某些地区带来的可能后果做好准备。
