With the U.S. stockpile of medical supplies for combatting COVID-19 nearly depleted, a clogged global supply chain, and "a Wild West-style" online marketplace rife with hoarders and price-gougers, what can be done to get medical supplies to health care workers on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19? Northwestern University Transportation Center Director and multimodal transportation systems expert, Dr. Hani Mahmassani, and Northwestern University professor of computer science, Dr. Kristian Hammond will share insights from a survey of logistics leaders worldwide, and talk about their work with the public and private sectors to launch the Emergency Response Exchange, a new online platform that directly connects health care providers with medical suppliers.
