Part I disagree with the above piece is that what's going on right now with the statements by Atlas about masks is *not* about expressing uncertainty, but deploying a kind of whataboutism—it's "experts/top-down misinformation happened therefore let me confuse you deliberately."

Uncertainty in February/March: yes, please, as appropriate, but also within the context of the precautionary principle as we must act, even in the face of uncertainty. Right now, a good amount of what gets presented as giving its due to uncertainty is just ideological warfare.

What we should acknowledge is how this broad failure makes the current environment so difficult to navigate for an ordinary person. "Covidiots" versus "us" is really not the right way to understand what's going on: all around failure of our institutions plus ideological warfare.

This is so interesting. A few of us really respect people who acknowledge making a mistake, and who - even better - are interested in sharing how the mistake happened so we all might learn from it. But that’s not popular - public seem to despise - nor how you get to run things.

Based on his history Sunstein is not someone I would give much credence to, no matter what he is talking about. (I do like Behavioral Economics ... but...)

I'm sorry, but why would Cass Sunstein be someone we should all be listening to about a viral pandemic?
