For example, discussions of herd immunity, when to go back to work and how, the next waves, prioritizing risks, etc. all have to be had. The stock market isn't a humane priority or reason but there will be painful trade-offs and we have to talk about them.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1242266044418404352 …

By the way, Chaos was the first book I read about nonlinear dynamics. Got me all interested in things like.. pandemics. Thank you! (Though I wish it never got any application in this particular case.

I saw
@JamesGleick on the Chaos book tour at Black Oak Books in Berkeley and it was a transformative experience... I was 10 and the image of the room is still crystal clear :)

My wife works at a law firm in 30 Rock, and the firm started having people stay home only two weeks ago. (I've been remote for over a year.) We New Yorkers really botched our response in the early period, which was probably crucial.

All of that—yes. But not because NY is the center of “pundit-world/media.” I saw some fine reporting and commentary early, and some that was tragically naive or complacent. As for the responsible public officials, from the top down, perhaps we’ll someday have a reckoning.

Some reporting was great, indeed. But there was a lot of “we don’t panic”, tragically throughout February and March. Almost like a 9/11 script. Pandemics don’t work like terrorism, unfortunately.

Why do you blame the media and then quote the mayor and officials
