COVID-19

Last updated by The POOG on February 15, 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic has become heavily politicized. Since we don’t have a separate topic for heath or disease issues, we place it here under the ‘Geopolitics’ topic. Since the virus, disease, and the pandemic are still in a state where much remains unknown and questions unanswered, we will use a subtopic document structure.

The subtopics are separate pages allowing for easy updating as new material becomes available. This allows for a “living” document where individual components can change without disturbing the bulk of the document.

The following pages cover the aspects of the disease that we are following.
