      Why is Stanford such a hotbed of Coronavirus skepticism?

      I said it a few weeks ago, but I can't remember any topic where it's been this hard to anticipate out how people would think about the crisis, based on their previous political ideology.

      While true, Stanford also has a reputation for being an ideologically conservative university

      Yes. *takes off captain obvious costume* (Just saying that Stanford is one of the institutions I _would_ have expected this from.)

      Herbert Hoover studied at Stanford but, yes, it's always been a conservative school (originally funded by a railroad plutocrat and as late as 1960s having rules that professors had to affirm support of "free market" and opposition to socialism).

          hoover's association with the university is a matter of deep controversey among the faculty...also, like chicago, its humanities and social science professors are the normal mix of mainstream democrat to far left that you see at other elite universities

          I think the Silicon Valley influence pushes it towards weird libertarians and tech-utopian directions. Lots of dubious digital humanities work there.
