How we got here

Here's four of the different sprints coming up. 

  • The U.S. has failed in its response

    For decades, American leadership has led the effort to improve global health. But CDC guidance wavers between good advice and junk.   

  • Start by looking ahead

    Let's think about what's going to be prominent in the media in the coming weeks. Zoom sprint participants discuss their thoughts, Covipedia moderators collect the evidence and then work with experts to develop a communications strategy around it. 

  • Let's find a way to talk about this

    Lots of very smart people are concerned. Expressing skepticism of the way things are being done feeds into all kinds of mistruths, like the anti-vaxxer movement. 

"The goal is, can we use the platform, and data, and evidence to push a conversation toward what we think is useful for the American people."
