Stevan E. Hobfoll: We must move from a sledge hammer to a scalpel approach

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) College students from numerous institutions gather in Herriman on Thursday, May 4, 2020, before fanning out into the community to explain the Utah Health & Economic Recovery Outreach program in hopes of finding people willing to be tested for COVID-19, to find out how widespread the disease actually is in the state. Educators and business leaders are hoping the HERO program, where college-age volunteers are now randomly finding residents to be tested for COVID-19, will blossom into something bigger. They are proposing to expand it into what will be called Hope Corps, with hundreds of students and other volunteers offering hands-on advice and resources to restaurants and retailers who's businesses are struggling in the pandemic.
