We hear a lot these days about the economic impact of the pandemic. Has this been on your mind? If so, tell us what you're thinking.

I am privileged to not feel too much economic impact, but I know I'm one of few and am very lucky. I worry so much about what is happening in India where I have many family and friends. There is so much suffering happening there, and I worry even more about the long-term impact on economic recovery because so many children are not getting adequate schooling, when we know that education, especially of girls, is key to overcoming poverty. I fear that this pandemic is going to set a country like India back decades and decades.
