BKC faculty associate Zeynep Tufekci on why being prepared for the global spread of coronavirus is “one of the most pro-social, altruistic things you can do in response to potential disruptions of this kind.”
“We should prepare, not because we may feel personally at risk, but so that we can help lessen the risk for everyone. We should prepare not because we are facing a doomsday scenario out of our control, but because we can alter every aspect of this risk we face as a society.”
