      We wasted February and the failure wasn't just from the administration. Many in media, too, fueled the complacency. Why? Because we don't know how to think about complex systems—something we must learn to get through this. I explain how. New piece from me. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/03/what-really-doomed-americas-coronavirus-response/608596/ …pic.twitter.com/MBdkBqvnPs

      I expect some resistance, especially from my friends in media. It's easier to fixate on the big problems with the administration. But one reason it's hard to get people to understand the problem now: up until March, the message from media was, chill, worry about the flu instead.pic.twitter.com/w3FcCeKhwB

      Ah, sorry here you go! I screenshotted for space but you can see individually. By the way, these are not exceptions. This was common and widespread in traditional/liberal media for all of February. https://twitter.com/wesyang/status/1241598924516986881 …

          The press on both sides of the political spectrum did not take this seriously enough initially although WaPo/NYT corrected earlier. But it is the govt who has experts who are charged with detecting/acting on problems. Something went wrong here....alarm was slow to come out.
