The Andlinger Center is hosting a virtual event featuring Bernard Bigot of The ITER Organization. Bigot is the director-general of the 35-country scientific collaboration known as ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) tasked to build a 500-megawatt fusion plant in southern France. This project is slated to be the first fusion experiment to produce more energy than it consumes. PPPL is an active collaborator on the project, and physicist Egemen Kolemen is the seminar’s host.   Bigot is based in France and will Zoom to an international audience 12pm EST/4pm GMT. This seminar is an example of Princeton convening leadership at the highest levels, specifically around energy and environmental issues and solutions. Fusion is seen as a potential source of limitless energy, and Bigot will discuss how ITER puts fusion on a pathway to commercialization, and the advances and challenges with the project. The talk may appeal to those interested in renewable energy, environmental studies, and climate change.  Registration is required. https://acee.princeton.edu/acee-news/virtual-highlight-seminar-series-bernard-bigot-iter/ Sponsored by The Andlinger Center for Energy & the Environment, Princeton University

WASHINGTON (April 30, 2020) — The U.S.

The monster who started it, Hitler, was dead, with a coward’s bullet to the head. Also gone was FDR, the man who mobilized a nation and built a worldwide coalition to defeat Germany. As were millions of men who fought in the second war to end all wars to crush an insane regime that had murdered millions of civilian men, women and children, Jew and gentile. Churchill, who stood sometimes alone against the threat, would soon be turned out by the voters.

We construct a quantitative model of an economy hit by an epidemic. People differ by age and skill, and choose occupations and whether to commute to work or work from home, to maximize their income and minimize their fear of infection. Occupations differ by wage, infection risk, and the productivity loss when working from home. By setting the model parameters to replicate the progression of COVID-19 in South Korea and the United Kingdom, we obtain three key results. First, government-imposed lock-downs may not present a clear trade-off between GDP and public health, as commonly believed, even though its immediate effect is to reduce GDP and infections by forcing people to work from home. A premature lifting of the lock-down raises GDP temporarily, but infections rise over the next months to a level at which many people choose to work from home, where they are less productive, driven by the fear of infection. A longer lock-down eventually mitigates the GDP loss as well as flattens the infection curve. Second, if the UK had adopted South Korean policies, its GDP loss and infections would have been substantially smaller both in the short and the long run. This is not because Korea implemented policies sooner, but because aggressive testing and tracking more effectively reduce infections and disrupt the economy less than a blanket lock-down. Finally, low-skill workers and self-employed lose the most from the epidemic and also from the government policies. However, the policy of issuing “visas” to those who have antibodies will disproportionately benefit the low-skilled, by relieving them of the fear of infection and also by allowing them to get back to work.

Patient Jessica Ellision recalled how she broke down and sobbed Monday when she finally received her medication after a three-hour wait — much of it in the crowded hallway where she feared the other patients might be infected. “It was so intense and so stressful, and you feel like you worked so hard not to be sick, but this is it now — this is how it happens,” said Ellison, 39, of the Bronx.
