Disclaimer: I am not a public health expert, simply an information student seeking to understand things better. The following is an academic paper I wrote while in grad school as a Masters of Science in Information Management student at the University of Washington. My goal was to better understand the risks posed by a pandemic and how it might affect the United States.
