Global economic cost
[15] Resistance globally (doubling of current infection rates and 100% resistance) Lower rates of resistance (a 40% resistance increase from current rates) Global Total Factor Productivity model 14,228,000,000 less GDP produced in 2050 compared to 2050 in a scenario with lower resistance
[55] Resistance globally (100% resistance rate) No resistance Global Computable General Equilibrium model 3,158,862,360 less GDP produced in 2050 compared to 2050 with no resistance
