  • . Some states, such as Washington, Oregon and Utah, already let everyone vote at home.
  • Voters already receive registration cards and elections guides by mail. Why not ballots?
  • First, every eligible voter should be mailed a ballot and a self-sealing return envelope with prepaid postage.
  • Elections administrators should receive extra resources to recruit younger poll workers, to ensure their and in-person voters’ health and safety, and to expand capacity to quickly and accurately process what will likely be an unprecedented volume of mail-in votes.
  • In the best-case scenario, the trauma of the pandemic will force society to accept restraints on mass consumer culture as a reasonable price to pay to defend ourselves against future contagions and climate disasters alike.
  • In the years ahead, however, expect to see more support from Democrats, Republicans, academics and diplomats for the notion that government has a much bigger role to play in creating adequate redundancy in supply chains—resilient even to trade shocks from allies. This will be a substantial reorientation from even the very recent past.

  • will struggle
  • A hunger for diversion.
  • After the disastrous 1918-19 Spanish flu and the end of World War I, many Americans sought carefree entertainment, which the introduction of cars and the radio facilitated.
  • The economy quickly rebounded and flourished for about 10 years, until irrational investment tilted the United States and the world into the Great Depression.
  • human beings will respond with the same sense of relief and a search for community, relief from stress and pleasure.
  • Less communal dining—but maybe more cooking
  • many people will learn or relearn how to cook over the next weeks.
  • ikely there will be many fewer sit-down restaurants in Europe and the United States. We will be less communal at least for a while.
  • A revival of parks.
  • Urban parks—in which most major cities have made significant investments over the past decade—are big enough to accommodate both crowds and social distancing.
  • Society might come out of the pandemic valuing these big spaces even more,
  • A change in our understanding of ‘change.’
  • Americans have said goodbye to a society of frivolity and ceaseless activity in a flash
  • Our collective notions of the possible have changed already
  • The tyranny of habit no more.
  • Maybe, as in Camus’ time, it will take the dual specters of autocracy and disease to get us to listen to our common sense, our imaginations, our eccentricities—and not our programming.

    "While citizen science is gaining attention of late, for those of us involved in community-based public health research, community/citizen involvement in research has steadily increased over the past 50 years. Community Health Workers (CHWs), also known as Promotores de Salud in the Latino community, are critical to reaching underserved populations, where health disparities are more prevalent. CHWs/Promotores provide health education and services and may also assist with the development and implementation of community- and clinic-based research studies. Recognizing that CHWs typically have no formal academic training in research design or methods, and considering that rigor in research is critical to obtaining meaningful results, we designed instruction to fill this gap. We call this educational initiative "Building Research Integrity and Capacity" or BRIC. The BRIC training consists of eight modules that can be administered as a self-paced training or incorporated into in-person, professional development geared to a specific health intervention study. While we initially designed this culturally-grounded, applied ethics training for Latino/Hispanic community research facilitators, BRIC training modules have been adapted for and tested with non-Latino novice research facilitators. This paper describes the BRIC core content and instructional design process."

    "Multiple Chronic Conditions Community: People who live with multiple complex, chronic, persistent, painful and often mystifying health conditions are not only resilient but wise due to the expertise gained from managing MCCs and navigating healthcare systems. Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) can benefit from their expertise. People who help patients manage their health whether as professional care providers, insurance providers, policy makers, researchers, family or friends who care each day about these patients are also considered members of the MCC community. Building a diverse multi-stakeholder team to design CER studies to improve health outcomes for MCC patients requires a thoughtful and person centered approach to building a research community. "

    "Empowering patients to have greater agency in, and control over health decisions. A patient's health literacy is their ability to read, understand and use health care information to make informed decisions and modify behaviours that affect their personal healthcare needs. Promoting health literacy among patients creates a more collaborative care environment, one that empowers patients to have greater agency in, and control over, their own care decisions. CCMI's Health Literacy programs introduce participants to concepts that support and emphasize the importance of being able to support patients and communicate clearly so that patients and family members can truly participate in care. Participants will gain an understating of Health Literacy concepts and learn practical skills for engaging with patients to ensure clear and effective communication."

    Recommended by Kabir Kadre: "Abstract Importance  Home health care workers care for community-dwelling adults and play an important role in supporting patients with confirmed and suspected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who remain at home. These workers are mostly middle-aged women and racial/ethnic minorities who typically earn low wages. Despite being integral to patient care, these workers are often neglected by the medical community and society at large; thus, developing a health care system capable of addressing the COVID-19 crisis and future pandemics requires a better understanding of the experiences of home health care workers."
