What can systemic risk management techniques (such as stress tests and war games) and the global financial crisis, teach us about implementing COVID-19 post-mortems, and preparing for future pandemics? In this speaker series, Dr. Frank Milne will discuss his work on this with his colleague, Dr. David Longworth. Join us in a discussion that deals with both broad public health issues and government economic policies.
