Do you have thoughts on pandemic prevention NPIs (eg vector control)? Many of these things are technically non-pharmaceutical interventions, though of course looks very different from mask mandates or social distancing orders!
Key thought on vector control: vector control is tricky. Mostly, we care about mosquitoes, where there is tons of work, and on mammalian carriers, where we know that people like farming / hunting, then eating the animals, so vector control is a bit different. There’s lot of work on this, and a literature review for the forum might be a good thing for someone to write.

I haven’t thought much about this so can’t add anything useful at the moment. If I think of / come across anything I’ll reply again.
