Tempers are fraying in the European Union over the best way to combat the economic havoc wrought by the coronavirus. Hard-hit countries like Italy and Spain want action taken hard and fast. Others like Germany and the Netherlands want to keep some options in reserve in case of a fresh emergency or to spark an economic recovery later on. Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte says “the consequences of COVID-19 should be faced not in the coming months but tomorrow morning.” The rift is similar to the one that surfaced during mass migration to Europe in recent years. The early emergency responses to the virus by some countries, like uncoordinated border closures, have also damaged trust.
