The purpose of the Pandemic Win Trackers is to highlight how society is adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic. We want to highlight how our local grocery/retail stores, hotels, bars & restaurants are taking care of their customers when it comes to the guidelines provided by CDC (Center of Disease Control). This is done by using actual researchers who highlight the social distancing protocols of the different businesses.
If you feel that your business should be evaluated and highlighted, feel free to contact us now!
MEET THE TEAM!
I am a faculty member at the Great Bethune-Cookman University in the Department of Natural Sciences and I am also an Affiliated Faculty member with the University of Florida's STEM Translational Communication Center. I am the founder and director of the B-CU's Pandemic Win Initiative. I am passionate about translating scientific information to the public so that they can make healthy informed decisions. I currently do this as part of my cancer research and I want to do the same thing with COVID-19. To me, Pandemic Win means "If you tried something new during this pandemic to better yourself or your business, provided a new service or developed a new product, you ARE WINNING and should be celebrated!-Welcome to PANDEMIC WIN!
Hi I’m Isis Bouie, a junior, pre-med, biology major. And I aspire to be a pediatrician in the near future. Pandemic Win to me means doing whatever you can to make sure yourself and others are safe. Like staying six feet apart and wearing your mask. As well as informing others to do so as well. -Isis

I am a Marching Wildcat and a member of Tau Beta Sigma National Honorary Band Sorority Inc.To me, a Pandemic Win is when an industry takes proper social distancing guidelines beyond signage. This means that not only are there arrows and signs guided towards social distancing, but enforcing masks and having hand sanitizer stations located around the industry. In addition, cooks and waiters should wear masks and gloves as well. A true Pandemic Win is when an industry aims to keep you and your family healthy and safe.
