Some have compared the ramifications of the war in the Middle East to those of the COVID-19 pandemic, but are they similar crises?

    experts have told SBS News that the current economic crisis differs from the pandemic in numerous ways.

    This is a crisis, that was a crisis. That’s as far as the similarity goes really.

                  Perhaps we need an article on sbs news to find out for sure, but my guess is that the experts would tell us that they are both examples of crises.
