During the COVID crisis, politicians had to balance the physical health with the psychological health of citizens.
This simulation emulates that challenge.
Can you find a good balance?

#Russia, suspected cases of unexplained respiratory #illness, https://regnum.ru/news/3956457
Moscow , March 30, 2025, 06:44 — IA Regnum. Information about the new virus allegedly spreading in Russia should be carefully studied, waiting for the results of at least one study. #Epidemiologist Gennady Onishchenko explained to TASS that the symptoms could be an individual feature or a complication from another disease.

Too many interventions, you lose.
Too many deaths, you lose.
Find the right balance, you win.
From an opinion piece in the New York Times by Caitlin Rivers, PhD, an #epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health: “There is very little that Americans can agree on these days. … But one thing nearly everyone agrees on? #Vaccines are good.” https://tinyurl.com/4hyrw85r
#US withdrawal from #WHO will hurt us all
US is biggest donor to WHO, and loss of this income is likely to have a significant impact on organization, which develops international #health guidelines, investigates disease outbreaks, and acts as an information-sharing hub for member states.
But the US will also lose out. “It’s a very tragic and sad event that could only hurt the United States in the long run,” says William Moss, #epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins #PublicHealth

COVID is still with us. It's easy to criticize one side or the other for their position on this pandemic. But can we actually manage a pandemic?
This simulation gives you some idea on the challenge faced by epidemiologists and politicians:

Covid is still with us. Last week's DNC's event was a spreader.
This pandemic simulation gives us experience with various interventions.

I believe simulations are better tests for proving competence than exams. This simulation has politicians managing a pandemic. Would you trust a politician to this task if he/she failed the simulation?

Would you trust a pilot who failed the simulator tests?
We need to test #politicians and senior civil servants with #simulations.
Would you trust a decision maker who failed this #pandemic simulation?

Can you deploy interventions to save lives and lift interventions to retain social stability?
My wife, a maternal and child health #epidemiologist , brought these back from the National #Tribal #Health Conference. I think it’s the general tagline of the National #Indian Health Board. Really perfect for #masks
