Answer 1

The first, basic puzzle of crises is why governments allow them to happen. For political leaders, crises come with significant costs and few benefits. Retrospective reports frequently reveal that governments failed to implement cost-effective preventative measures that could have forestalled or mitigated and controlled a crisis.Elections continue to be held throughout the world and where there is elections there have to be campaigns which are mostly through political gatherings as politicians sell out their agendas.This has caused non-adherence to covid 19 protocols and the violation causes a greater spread of the disease. If elections were to be banned for a certain period it would help carb the spread of the disease as there will be no social gatherings and hence minimal interactions.
