COVID-19 Reshapes Public Debate On Key Issues

NEW YORK, April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- High Lantern Group, a strategic consulting firm specializing in business leadership and reputation, today released a new analysis showing how the COVID-19 pandemic is fundamentally transforming the landscape of societal issues and public priorities.

The analysis shows previously prominent issue categories of climate, sustainability and social equality have receded, while labor and financial security issues have risen to the fore. This shift in issue priorities has been almost entirely driven by the effect of COVID-19 on every facet of work and society.

Prominent issues driven by COVID-19 are listed below. The ranking shows the combination of three factors: 1. Engagement; 2. Upward trend; 3. Overlap with COVID-19. The data was collected over the past 90 days by analyzing 1.6 million tweets from 3,000 leading activists, influencers and political figures.

Top COVID-Driven Issues
1. Unemployment	14. Employee Healthcare
2. Vaccines	15. Mental Health
3. Corporate Restructuring	16. Childcare
4. Healthcare Reform	17. Trade Barriers
5. Caregiving	18. Use of Independent Contractors
5. Misinformation	18. Immigrant Detention
7. Workplace Safety & Exploitation	20. Social Security
8. Gouging	21. College Affordability
9. Race Equality	21. Online Censorship
10. Family Planning	23. Net Neutrality & Access
11. Lung Disease	24. Fossil Fuels
12. Travel Bans	25. Gender Equality

"This is a major reset moment for social issues and priorities," said Rob Gluck, Managing Partner of High Lantern Group. "Priorities have changed, new issues have come to the fore and the expectations facing the business community will continue to evolve."
