Zoom Presentation-Can We Talk: Pandemic?
About the Event
We’re all flying blind as we navigate the current Covid-19 pandemic. None of us knows how long this will last, or what its effects will be on our health, our economy, and on social well-being and cohesion. The best we can do is to look at the range of possibilities and the policy options for each – all the while maintaining a steady grip on our core values and goals, which are widely shared. In this hour-long session, we’ll survey some of this unmarked terrain, and we’ll introduce a strategy that may prove to be useful for schools, companies, governments and others who must try to resume normal operations even in the face of great uncertainty.
