Description
This talk will focus on the social dilemma aspects of disease control, and in particular on the "hysteresis” effect in bottom-up public health behavior dynamics that is responsible for resistance to top-down public health recommendations, ranging from mask hysteria, distancing disobedience, and vaccine hesitancy. Synergistic integration of top-down and bottom-up perspectives is required to increase the awareness and preparedness of epidemics of disease.
