Decision Making without Data

• Need to make decisions rapidly in the absence of data

• Few genuine subject matter experts

• No “textbook” experience to guide response

• Understanding of “risk” will evolve as a pandemic develops and spreads

• ****Need coherent, rapid process for addressing scientific issues in midst of crisis****

Bad communication adds to crisis• Mixed messages from multiple

“experts”• Late information “overcome by

events”• Over-reassuring messages• No reality check on

recommendations• Myths, rumors, doomsayers not

countered• Poor performance by spokesperson

or leader• Public power struggles and

confusion
