The widespread and lingering pandemic of COVID-19 is partly due to disjointed international countermeasures and policies enforced by different countries. We have been witnessing disparity in policies and measures in different countries and regions: some are in much better control than others. To effectively deal with this and future devastating pandemics, we as human beings must work together to coordinate a concerted, cooperative international policy to reduce or possibly avoid unnecessary health crises, and life and economic losses.
新冠疫情的广泛蔓延和持续存在，部分原因在于不同国家实施的国际应对措施和政策脱节。我们一直目睹着不同国家和地区在政策和措施上的差异：有些地区的疫情控制得比其他地区好得多。为了有效应对这一疫情以及未来的毁灭性大流行，我们人类必须共同努力，协调一致地制定合作性的国际政策，以减少或可能避免不必要的健康危机、生命和经济损失。
