COVID-19 has been called[1] a 'wicked problem'[2] -- tackling it requires efforts across various social systems that may interact unpredictably.
That makes it challenging for organizers to set up and assign funding to one individual project. Instead we're seeing lots of initiatives spring up to improve outcomes in specific areas.
