How to Prepare for the Next Pandemic Is a Step by Step Guide for the Future

By Alex Silverman

This film comes to us from Planet Classroom’s original Problem Solver Series. In this short, student Ju Lin gives us a step by step guide on how the world might better prepare for another pandemic.

Ju Lin shares multiple ideas from stockpiling medical equipment to developing pandemic task forces. These are all great ideas that need to be implemented not just for future pandemics, but also in the here and now while we are still combatting COVID-19.  I do believe there is more work and future planning needed to address global pandemics such as making sure we have enough medical supplies that are effective enough and making sure the people who have the power to implement good ideas are able to do so accordingly.

We have been dealing with COVID-19 for nearly 2 years now but these ideas should be welcomed nonetheless. I give this short 4 out of 5 stars.

Alex is a recent graduate from Columbia College Chicago with a major in Comedic Writing & Performance and a minor in Writing for Television.
