I’m personally less optimistic about advocacy, because I think there’s a strong worry that the professionals should do their jobs (especially since they’re likely to be overtaxed very soon) and advocates can easily be more harmful than helpful.
Other prior work: Would activism to ensure local hospitals and health departments are adequately preparing for COVID-19 be high-leverage?
