A Need for Data-driven Public Health Responses to COVID-19.

On January 22, 2020, Netflix released a six-part documentary series titled “Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak.” This series describes current emerging disease surveillance systems around the world, spotlights current clinical practices for dealing with seasonal flu, and provides perspectives on the social and economic impact of the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic. It makes clear that there is a thin line of dedicated individuals who have an impossible responsibility to protect public health on a global scale. This documentary further elucidates the social and economic impact that a contemporary major public health outbreak could have—a prescient release, now that we are living in the reality of the COVID-19 global pandemic. An important and hotly debated question is: How best to respond to this health threat? Taking lessons from current global outcomes, there are three interesting cases to consider: China, Italy, and Singapore.
