Abstract

The study "Pandemics Depress the Economy, Public Health Interventions Do Not: Evidence from the 1918 Flu" (March 30, 2020, Sergio Correia, Stephan Luck, and Emil Verner) is incomparable to COVID-19 situation in 2020 and hence irrelevant to project non-pharmaceutical health intervention measures in the 2020 COVID case.

Keywords: COVID, invalid study, social interventions, economic outcome
