As we pandemic grinds on and the initial panic is replaced with grim endurance increasingly many people are turning their minds to the future: what will we do differently after COVID?
From the start I (and others) have been worried about how this could go wrong: how an ill-calibrated response to this most recent catastrophe could end up doing more harm than good. I’m interested in hearing other Forum users’ thoughts on what we should be particularly worried about, and try particularly hard to prevent. I’ll write my own (very speculative) answer in a couple of days.
I’m particularly interested in narrow considerations relating to how we could screw up biosecurity policy in the coming years as a result of the pandemic, but am also open to broader answers about how the pandemic might plausibly make things persistently worse more generally.
Obviously, don’t write stuff here if you think many people in the field would rather it weren’t discussed publicly.
