Former Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker's Initiative to Fight Covid-19

The transcript discusses the creation of a regional data commons in the U.S., highlighting its interoperability, ease of use, and membership-driven nature. It provides accurate local data, aiding government decision-making.

The process and capability are encouraged to be replicated elsewhere.

What aspirations does the project have for the greater Chicago land area and the state of Illinois?

Why is it important for the capabilities of the data Commons to be replicated in other places?
