On average, the region will recover its production levels by 2022 and, regarding per capita production, by 2023.""Once the pandemic is over, as I said before, the region will have to invest in infrastructure and climate change-oriented infrastructure, and also will have to strengthen its social security and education systems." -CARLOS FELIPE JARAMILLO, WORLD BANK VICE PRESIDENT FOR THE LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN REGION:"I personally think that we have to focus on what to do in the region in the future. There is a lot to do and we can see many opportunities, but we have to take advantage of these opportunities.""On a global level, this time we have to pay attention to the context and we see three revolutions that are affecting all of us around the globe: the digital revolution, the green revolution and the innovation revolution.""I think that the biggest challenge we face in our countries is taking advantage of this context and these three great revolutions."-MAURICIO CLAVER-CARONE, PRESIDENT OF THE INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (IDB):"The Marshall plan for Latin America already exists and it is called the recapitalisation of the Inter-American Development Bank (IBD).""The pandemic has affected the whole world, but we know that it has affected Latin America and the Caribbean in a disproportionate way since it is one of the most unequal regions in the world.""With only 8% of the world population, our region has registered one third of the global Covid-19 deaths."

One thing is certain: there is going to be far greater demand for healthcare in the US in the coming years. That's because by 2030, every Baby Boomer will be age 65 or older, which means that 1 out of every 5 U.S. citizens will be of retirement age. According to Business Insider, the average life expectancy in the US was slightly less than 70 years old in 1968 but rose to almost 79 years old in 2016. The population in 1968 was just over 200 million, but reached 323 million by 2016, putting increased pressure on Social Security and public health services. However, bright spots on the scene include increased use of telemedicine, wearable health trackers and monitors, and in-home voice assistants.
To vote in a presidential election, you need to be an American citizen, be at least 18 years old on Election Day, and vote in the state in which you reside. Candidates tend to focus their campaigns on 'swing states,' where candidates from both parties have won in recent elections. The party with the most seats in each house gets the top leadership positions. That party has an enormous influence on which laws are considered and voted on.
US presidential elections can be very tight. In 2000, for example, it took the Supreme Court to decide between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush. But there are other ways to pick a winner in a tied US election. Take, for instance, the 1994 House of Representatives race in Wyoming. The governor broke the tie by pulling a Ping-Pong ball adorned with the name of the winner out of a cowboy hat. In the Silver State of Nevada, they settle ties by drawing cards—high card wins, naturally. This last happened in 2011, when neither frugal candidate in a North Las Vegas city council primary would pay $600 for a recount!
