5 failures of political leaders during a public health crisis
“There are five traps political leaders can fall into when it comes to a public health emergency: 1. delay and downplay; 2. fudge the science; 3. isolation from the international community; 4. absence; and 5. double standards.” Sophie Harman Professor of International Politics at Queen Mary University of London.
This was mentioned on Evan Davis’s excellent Radio 4 programme on “Lessons on a crisis”.
