What does it take to reopen an economy? This hurricane-hit Florida city might have an idea.
'I don't need this right now':McQueen says the economic impact of the pandemic will mirror that of the hurricane in some ways. McQueen talks of a “V-shaped recovery curve" in which a number of businesses reopen quickly.
Communication is key, McQueen says. Leaders should communicate early and often, which will foster trust and help reduce anxiety born of uncertainty and displace rumor and speculation. McQueen refers to the “emotional curve" developed by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration."Equally important to successfully navigating a crisis is the twin need to recognize the six distinct phases of emotional reaction," he says.
Every community across the nation is at a different point in this curve, given their pre-COVID-19 underlying economic conditions, population density and the arrival time of the virus, he says.: Georgia church services under scrutiny; last patient leaves hospital in Wuhan; US cases near 1M
