    Hello, Community members,

    I wanted to share a paper colleagues and I had published yesterday that attempts to provide a health equity and social justice framework for both pandemic preparedness and real-time response. (link below)

    As health care systems, public health agencies and community members work to prepare for "Wave 2" or future crises, our hope is that this might guide a more just response.

    Would love any and all feedback, of course - what we missed, how it could be improved, if it resonates, etc.
