La rápida expansión de la enfermedad COVID-19 durante las últimas semanas no sólo ha golpeado a los sistemas de salud, sino también a la economía mundial, primero por la paralización de la producción en países como China o Corea del Sur, y luego por sus efectos en la Unión Europea y Estados Unidos, siendo quizás la cara más dramática las constantes caídas de los mercados bursátiles.
