      Not enough. Some good reporting but not good overall messaging.

      Curious to hear your thoughts on what could have been done better re messaging & how reporters can navigate that.. Given that there was significant front-page reporting in at least two of the key US papers, at one point it felt like they were screaming into a void.

      There were a few good news reports. Drowned out, in my experience, with... no worry, what about the flu, downplay downplay type articles.

          Downplayed by news agencies and public health agencies. On 1/23, “I am not declaring a PHEIC today,” (although) “the WHO outbreak expert repeatedly said in the same press conference that the Wuhan epidemic has met all the criteria for a PHEIC declaration.” https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/24/wuhan-virus-china-belt-and-road-pandemic/ …pic.twitter.com/25UsHfjEja

          Definitely governments and (some) public health experts contributed; but so did media. I do hope there will be more systematic studies. I spent Feb early March trying to get people to stop large gatherings/travel. They were drowned in "don't worry" messaging. I'm pretty sure.

          Reporters are highly selective about which experts they will question and which they will treat as untouchable. Pre-pandemic, they were way too deferential to public health bureaucrats who often parrot unproven conventional wisdom. To know this was a huge story and not the flu in

          January, all you had to do was recognize a few key facts. 1) China just quarantined an entire city 2) health care workers are dying. By February, Singapore had 10-15% of its document COVID cases in the ICU, likewise France. It was never the flu to anyone who looked closely and
