Scenarios for the next COVID-19 variants: the SAGE document
4 min readAug 8, 2021
What will COVID-19 develop into? What variants should we expect?
I’d like to continue my futures exploration of the pandemic today by focusing on a set of scenarios recently published by Britain’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE). It’s an interesting document, sharing a range of possibilities well grounded in current epidemiology, from what I can understand. These potential futures are ones colleges and universities need to consider as they plan for 2021–2022.
