The San Francisco Chronicle quotes CGD visiting fellow Nora Lustig on the impact of H1N1 virus on Mexico's economy.
From the article:
""First there's the economic crisis, second there's the whole insecurity situation as a result of the drug-related crime, now third you have this epidemic compounding an already bad impact on the economy," said Nora Lustig, a Mexico expert at George Washington University and the Center for Global Development. "It means the average Mexican is going to be in a pretty horrible situation with not many other places to go.""
