COVID-19 Pandemic: Insights from RAND
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus first detected in late 2019 has now become a global pandemic. This has led not only to widespread illnesses and deaths, but also to economic devastation, day-to-day challenges, and long-term uncertainty for people all over the world.
RAND research and expertise provide insights and analysis that can assess the effects of this monumental crisis—and help determine the best ways forward.
How can hospitals ensure that they have sufficient critical care capacity to treat a surge of COVID-19 patients? What might it take for the global economy to recover from the pandemic? How are schools, teachers, and students dealing with the transition to distance learning?
These are just a few of the important questions that RAND researchers are tackling as the pandemic continues to unfold. Their efforts can help inform immediate policy responses to address the disastrous effects of COVID-19—and help communities, businesses, and individuals recover long after the disease stops spreading.
