What Happens When the Next Pandemic is a Power Outage?

Via The Southern Illinoisan: Imagine if, in 2018, someone had fully predicted the arrival of COVID-19. They explained the scale of the coming pandemic — and gave policymakers time to prepare. It’s almost impossible to imagine such a scenario. And it’s human nature to doubt such “bad news” predictions. However, we might be on the […]
