Event Description

Meredith Rosenthal, Sharon Block, and Meira Levinson will discuss Pandemic Resilience and Work and Schools in this conversation on the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics’ COVID-19 white paper series. The discussion will be moderated by Carmel Shachar.

In order to successfully combat the COVID-19 epidemic, we need to thoughtfully mobilize and utilize all resources available. The Edmond J. Safra Center’s COVID-19 Response Initiative, a bipartisan group of experts in economics, public health, technology and ethics from across the country, has released the nation’s first comprehensive operational roadmap for mobilizing and reopening the U.S. economy in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis.

The Edmond J. Safra Center and the Petrie-Flom Center are exploring this operational roadmap to pandemic resilience in a series of events. This second discussion on reopening the country will focus on work and schools.
