Let’s discuss! How do we improve risk communication and vaccination adherence? How do we treat pandemic distress? What does the future look like during these pandemic times? Please give a brief paragraph on each chapter. As usual, I want us to discuss what you found most interesting in the reading, and take on a broad perspective. You do not need to answer these questions verbatim, but your responses will follow the general question of what will we do about these vulnerabilities and obstacles!
