While there are some universals related to how cultures have dealt with the disease, there are subtle differences related to cultural dimensions. Many of you have experienced these differences first hand give that you’ve had an opportunity to witness the disease un America and your home country. Others who are US citizens have experiences sub-cultural differences in the ways different regions and demographics gather information about the pandemic and how they react to it. Please offer your observations about the strengths and weaknesses you’ve seen in COVID related communications here in the US and compare or contrast how you’ve seen it in other countries.
