Pandemia haastaa ajattelumme: Neljä kompastuskiveä torjuntapolulla

This is a series of five videos (in Finnish), outlining what I currently consider the most important facets of Finnish pandemic preparedness. Also published at mattiheino.com

Videoissa alla selitän asiat, jotka näen tärkeimpinä ja tieteellistä tarkastelua parhaiten kestävinä näkökulmina suomalaiseen pandemiavasteeseen. Näkemykset eivät ole Behaviour Change & Well-being -tutkimusryhmän, Valtioneuvoston kanslian käyttäytymistieteellisen neuvonantoryhmän, tai Citizen Shield -pandemiavalmiushankkeen virallisia kantoja.

Osa 0: Johdatus käyttäytymiseen, järjestelmiin ja keskinäisriippuvaisuuteen.

Osa 1: Leveysrajoitteisista hännistä.

Osa 2: Noususta, tuhosta ja oikea-aikaisuudesta.

Osa 3: Ikävien yllätysten minimoinnista.

Osa 4: Resilienssistä ja yhteenveto.
