In this brief interview, Gari Sullivan explains that the lockdown has had disastrous effects on people worldwide psychologically, and that since Morocco has implemented very strict lockdown measures, Moroccans might be more affected than others. In this respect, he adds that the desired economic recovery is the by product of the psychological recovery.

Asked about the measures that should be taken in order to get people psychologically and mentally back to normal, Gari states that we should stop talking about “the new normal” and “the second wave of the virus” and highlights that this is the role of governments and the media establishments.

On a similar note, Gari says that the people around the world should measure the success of their government in dealing with this pandemic based on whether they have managed to return people’s lives back to normal.
