PALAVRAS: Chris McKenna
Diretor, Downtown in Business
No mês passado ou mais, eu vi uma enorme mudança de atitudes de líderes do setor privado em todo o país, como todos vemos a vida além da pandânica. Revolta -se e isso é positivo de ouvir e algo no centro dos negócios e nossos parceiros sempre defenderam. Era inevitável nos estágios iniciais dos pandínicos que reagiriam de maneira diferente e houve muito debate sobre quem teve um desempenho melhor. Depois de doze meses, e com as notícias desta semana, a UE revisará onde exportará a vacina mostra uma verdadeira falta de uma estratégia global. Mas também quero poder viajar para onde quiser. Com muitas bordas ainda fechadas, é crucial os líderes mundiais começam a trabalhar mais colaborativamente para reabrir o mundo. melhor.
Collaboration is something people are highlighting as an integral part of the economy bouncing back and this is positive to hear and something Downtown in Business and our partners have always championed.
It is, however, disappointing to see so far into the pandemic that global leaders do not seem to be getting the message. It was inevitable in the early stages of the pandemic countries would react differently and there has been plenty of debate as to who has performed better. After twelve months though, and with this week’s news that the EU will review where they export the vaccine shows a real lack of a global strategy.
I, like everyone, cannot wait to be able to go and see friends at the pub, attend live events at work and take my kids swimming. But I also want to be able to travel to wherever I choose. With many borders still closed it is crucial world leaders start working more collaboratively in getting the world re-open.
Our airports have been decimated over the past year and if we are wanting to see an economic return to pre-pandemic days, it is crucial regional and national airports are at the heart of that.
The sooner we create a globally co-ordinated vaccine strategy, the better.
