Yup. Precautionary Principle is precisely for times like this. The virus seems to expose many long-standing holes in our understanding of biology and ecology. (To say nothing of economics and psychology.)

Exactly! So many dimensions. Been watching doctors puzzle over the weird clinical picture (fascinating and viruses are weird!). But there is some major dynamic(s) here we don't understand. I read the papers. I fight the urge to fire up stats programs myself but I'm baffled tbh.
