● Are there any additional steps, precautions, or measures that could’ve been taken to better address this outbreak from its earliest stages?
Next, imagine it is December 2018 (exactly one year before the COVID-19 outbreak), and you are working on a committee that has been tasked with building a better system of global health governance to address any future global public health challenges. In a one-page response, please address the following prompts:
● Describe your new system of governance: What does it look like? Who are the key stakeholders?
● Who should be primarily responsible for funding this endeavor, and who will be tasked with managing it?
● What are the greatest challenges you anticipate in developing or implementing this new system of oversight and management?
● Based on your recommendations, describe how your new and improved global governance system would’ve responded to the novel coronavirus outbreak.
