Abstract
In a time of the SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19 pandemic (and future ones), the choices made by each individual accumulates to population scale and can have widespread repercussions on individual and population health. A critical part of the public health mandate is communicating the nature of the health threats and ways to defend against and mitigate them. For a general population that may not have any training in microbiology or the health sciences or other related fields, understanding the proper defensive measures may be challenging. This work explores the building of ego-level decision-tree understructures for serious games that may inform on such daily life decision-making at a time of societal reopening from pandemic lockdown in a complex ethical and legal space.
