A few evenings ago, I attended a MUPSS discussion on ‘Planning for Pandemics’. While the conversation opened up a floodgate of talking points, I am finding myself overwhelmed by topics that have surfaced in the face of this crisis.
I’ve tried many times to pen an entry to this, however, the result left me writing a two-meter long mind dump on a list of things that I wanted to say and common threads that have been mentioned in the news, conversations, and social media. Below is condensation and an overview of what I’ve written.
I can definitely draw a winder and longer map… however, given that many may have reached a point where they either want to reject or accept all the information that’s happening, I’ve left some in the dark for personal responses.
If you are interested in requesting an editable version of this, please let me know.
