American business is facing an unprecedented challenge in responding to the COVID-19 crisis: how and when can employees safely return to work, and how and when will customers feel comfortable returning to physical business establishments and resuming face-to-face interactions? Solving this challenge will require a tremendous amount of technical and logistical innovation and coordination.

COVID-19 IS A PROFOUND THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY, COMPARABLE TO THE GREAT DEPRESSION AND WORLD WAR II. As ever, the greatest bulwark of democracy is us. What we do together—for one another and, even more, with one another—to fight this terrible disease, protect human life, secure our institutions, and prevent the destruction of our economy will determine whether free societies will prove resilient in the face of existential emergency. What we need to do is much bigger than most people realize. We need to massively scale-up testing, contact tracing, isolation, and quarantine—together with providing the resources to make these possible for all individuals. Broad and rapid access to testing is vital for disease monitoring, rapid public health response, and disease control.
