Peaks and valleys; a fall peak; or a slow burn - these are the three scenarios outlined in new research from the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy.

"Our behavior really will impact whether we succeed at this or not," says Phelps, founder of Emergency Management & Safety Solutions.

In a video interview with Information Security Media Group, Phelps discusses:

  • Each of the three possible scenarios and the factors that influence them;
  • How the work experience may change when quarantine ends;
  • Global trends to watch as the world starts to reopen.
