On the 30th of January 2020, WHO declared coronavirus (COVID-19) a global public health emergency. In its early stages, the Covid-19 crisis around the world looked nothing like it is today. The initial state-of-emergency declarations were met by skepticism by both the public, and many in policy circles around the world, which exemplify what behavioral scientists call confirmation bias, until it became a devastating reality. This episode discusses the effects of Covid-19 and the lived experience of a woman in the Solomon Islands and another in Vanuatu.
