Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung said, “There is no way to avoid the 4th-5th pandemic following the 3rd pandemic. You have to do it.”

On the night of the 9th, Governor Lee said, “Corona 19 Crisis as an Opportunity” in the KBS live broadcast New Year’s late-night discussion hosted by Jeong Kwan-yong, a special professor at Kookmin University. It is not a problem of selection and universal,” he argued.

He said, “There was no overall business restriction in the first and second pandemics. Everyone was hurt. It is not easy to select some, so I told you about universal support by increasing consumption.”

“It is necessary to diversify the application this time. Economic quarantine is more important than social quarantine. People say,’I’ll starve before I get sick and die’. “So, when you give (disaster subsidies) to the people, use them within 3 months. Then you will use it in the neighborhood. It also supports income and induces consumption.”

Yonsei University Professor Kim Ho-gi also sympathized with the need for universal support for the whole people.

Professor Kim said, “In the course of the pandemic, suicides of women in their twenties increased rapidly. In this regard, the intensive selective support method for the victims may be correct.” “However, according to statistics, private consumption increased last year as the first disaster support fund for the whole country, and the economic stimulus was effective. It had the effect of boosting domestic demand by significantly increasing the sales of the workplace. The fourth round is in need of emergency disaster subsidies, which means basic income for the whole country.”

On the other hand, Kibin Hong, director of the Calpolani Institute for Social and Economic Affairs, said that intensive selective support was needed for those who were hit hard by the Corona 19 pandemic rather than universal support.

Director Hong said, “There is a debate over the universal and selective payment of disaster support funds.” Screening is important now. All (people’s) lives are now destroyed. It is not a situation that will be (solved) with universal support of 100,000 to 200,000 won. It is a situation where you have to give money in chunks.”
