"The COVID-19 pandemic is estimated to push an additional 88 million to 115 million people into extreme poverty this year [2020], with the total rising to as many as 150 million by 2021"
Yes there's lots of these articles about global recession but no where in these do they mention border closures are not something supported by the WHO as a way of controlling the spread.

That's an inconvenient truth that the CDC and other government heath agencies aren't keen on having widely known. Thus it seems to be left out of the press.
