Processing Policy in a Pandemic
Abstract
The United States has no recent experience dealing with a large-scale pandemic such as COVID-19 that has clearly affected our entire culture, institutions, and way of life. This type of problem is not predictable, and its associated impacts are not easily estimated. As such, we conducted a quantitative comparison in terms of case count between the Navy's response and the United States' national response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated the timing and implementation of Navy versus national and state policies, and explored the patterns and lessons learned to benefit the Navy and Department of Defense in the future. Our study meets a substantial need to look at both entities response from an objective standpoint and to critique those aspects that served to further benefit or hinder outcomes.
