COVID-19 Roundup: Important Update..

July is almost about to end. It's been a week - a week in a series of weeks where I, and I suspect others, have had times where they feel weak, worried, even woeful. These feelings are as natural as they are inevitable when there's still a pandemic to deal with along with a few other "special features" of 2020 as a whole.

The latest Roundup Update coming your way -- keep an eye out for the official return Monday August 17th.

ReStructure:

Not only is the Roundup going to be a weekly affair, it's also going to be structured a bit differently with four specific categories each containing several articles and analyses. These categories are designed to capture diverse perspectives of Pandemic Response and include:

• The Numbers: Detailing the latest COVID-19 data from multiple sources.
• Innovations and Inspirations (Medical and Otherwise): Breakthroughs, new research, ways in which society is adapting.
• Geopol: The geopolitical situation relative to COVID-19.
• Infodemic: How Pandemic Intelligence, other agencies and the global community at large is tackling mis/dis/false information as well as providing credible, accurate alternatives. Information warfare distilled and discussed.

The Heartfelt and Homespun segments are also returning, as elevating morale remains a key component in combating this worldwide crisis. Contributors to the roundup will include the Pandemic Intelligence team and other noteworthy personalities. Pandemic Response grassroots orgs and units will also have a chance to share their latest feats and findings.

Stay safe out there everyone, and thank you for reading!
