Why this is on the board
In an outbreak, control only works if millions of people understand and follow the advice, and you help decide how that advice reaches them, including in the crisis pool that is first to act. The content comes from epidemiologists and policymakers, but the trust you build between outbreaks counts towards how the Netherlands responds when a severe pandemic comes.

What do you make of this?
The board is still in beta, so this is exactly the moment to say what you think. A vacancy we have missed, a judgement you do not share, something that does not work — all of it helps.
