-In March 2020, "Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $250,000 to the [[Center for Global Development]] to support work led by Jeremy Konyndyk on developing COVID-19 response guidelines and decision support tools to disseminate to local leaders. The guidelines and tools are intended to help local leaders take appropriate measures to limit the spread of the virus."((//Center for Global Development — COVID-19 Local Response Guidelines.// (2020, March 18). Open Philanthropy. https://www.openphilanthropy.org/focus/global-catastrophic-risks/biosecurity/center-global-development-covid-19-local-response-guidelines)) Could this be an example of how local governments were able to respond in lockstep?
