    this is just a superficial read of twitter, but response to coronavirus is on on the same politico-cultural lines as everything else college-educated liberals: quarantines are ineffective, the flu is more dangerous, relax conservatives: freak out, travel ban, quarantine

        yes but it’s been wild to watch insightful, brahmin-type conservatives who would normally reject tail-risk climate projections... happily retweet and amplify even tail-riskier virology claims

        I'm not an expert on any of this but I find the liberal take on these things to be unpersuasive. It's very plausible to me that authoritarianism is an effective way to curb disease transmission and there's a lot of case studies you can point to.

        I'm not a specialist either and I haven't really followed this story, but even from the little I have read, I'm pretty confident that the claim that the flu is more dangerous is, at the very least, premature.

        Quarantines may well be ineffective, but I don't think we can be confident that the flu is more dangerous.
