Evidence over hysteria — COVID-19
Are we overreacting? Will the overreaction do more harm than good?
I believe we are overreacting. I believe the overreaction is largely driven by media reporting. Much of the reporting verges on hysterical. This forces the hands of politicians into actions they otherwise may not have taken. I don’t see an easy way out. We just have to weather the virus and the economic impact of personal restrictions. I do believe the economy will bounce back fast when the scare is over.
