The COVID-19 Crisis and Complexity in the United States

The main objective of this research is to present a transdisciplinary research process which identifies thecomplexity of the issues surrounding COVID-19 using collective intelligence through transdisciplinarycollaborative eort. Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), a methodology for dealing with complexsystem design and development has been the key component of this research. Building collective intelligenceto understand how factors affecting COVID-19 transmission and fatality and their relationships wereinvestigated. The complexity measure of the COVID-19 was investigated by using cyclomatic complexity.The results showed that the complexity of the COVID-19 is dicult to understand and handle.
