COVID-19 has fundamentally changed how society delivers health care, provides services, and cares for and educates our children. Entrenched problems that seem insurmountable are laid bare for all to see as we weather the pandemic. We cannot afford to tinker around the edges anymore. We must be creative, innovative, and bold to address systemic issues that impact our most under-resourced communities.
COVID-19 从根本上改变了社会提供医疗保健、服务以及照顾和教育儿童的方式。在应对大流行的过程中,那些看似无法克服的根深蒂固的问题暴露无遗。我们不能再修修补补了。我们必须富有创造力、创新性和勇气,解决影响我们资源最匮乏社区的系统性问题。
