Policymaking during a pandemic can be extremely challenging. As COVID-19 is a new disease and its global impacts are unprecedented, decisions are taken in a highly uncertain, complex, and rapidly changing environment. In such a context, in which human lives and the economy are at stake, we argue that using ideas and constructs from modern decision theory, even informally, will make policymaking a more responsible and transparent process.
在大流行期间制定政策可能极具挑战性。由于 COVID-19 是一种新疾病,其全球影响前所未有,因此决策是在高度不确定、复杂和快速变化的环境中做出的。在这种情况下,人类的生命和经济都处于危险之中,我们认为,即使非正式地使用现代决策理论的思想和概念,也将使决策过程更加负责和透明。
