Brookings plans two volumes, the first of which is available now. it is 105 pages.
Vol.1: Reopening America.
The first volume focuses on the American experience while the second one examines the experiences of other nations and lessons for the United States. Brookings President John Allen’s essay presents an overview of the pandemic and the serious questions it has raised for the world. Our goals in this project are to inform the public conversation about COVID, help business, government, and civic leaders take their next steps, and think about the immediate and longer-term consequences of the virus. We must learn as much as possible about this pandemic in order to address its overall ramifications.
It would seem that the ongoing protests and riots indicate that we are already “Reopened.” Many small business owners in urban areas may be looking back at the lockdowns as the time they still had hope that they could reopen.
