COVID-19
Are We Ready to Reopen the Economy?
Conversation with Kristian Lum, PhD, John Ricco, David Rubin, MD, MSCE, and Kent Smetters, PhD
The coronavirus pandemic caused an unprecedented shutdown of activity across the country. After nearly two months of sheltering in place, the economy has taken a beating and states are beginning to lift restrictions on activity to allow businesses to reopen. There are many uncertainties about whether we are ready to reopen the economy and what the tradeoffs with the public’s health will be. Penn and CHOP experts discussed various models for reopening the economy, including the projected economic benefits and health consequences of relaxing stay-at-home orders.
