Yep. Lack of reflection among media and pundits that made all this so much worse is mindblowing. All of February, I watched people locally use those “what about the flu/travel bans don’t work/don’t overreact” articles to decide go on trips and conferences.https://twitter.com/jayrosen_nyu/status/1242647591990562816 …

It’s interesting to see Nate push back here cause I think he agrees with you about 2016

Glad you bring up FaceBook and digital ‘media’. Most Americans don’t read the NYTs or watch MSNBC / CNN. They get their ‘news’ from FB and ‘Medium’ blogs. There’s tons misinformation, often injected by partisan political groups. Investigate that ecosystem

I think it's a lot more complicated than that. I'm talking about traditional media sources that misinformed people which was then shared by the relatively highly-educated local population around me to justify further travel/gatherings. It wasn't the usual snake-oil or misinfo.
