@ZoeMcLaren It's still part-and-parcel of cost-benefit analysis, though! "Bad things happen when you call with a mediocre hand" is often an excellent poker heuristic, but it's a good heuristic because it's empirically true that such calls lose money on average... — PolitiTweet.org

@sdbaral I actually think the PP makes a decent argument *against* drastic interventions like closures, i.e. "In-person interactions have long been the basis of civil society; although there are now many adequate virtual substitutes, we should be cautious about abruptly removing them". — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesSurowiecki @JenniferNuzzo I don't blame anyone too much for spring 2020 decisions. And you'd have to look up what was known at the time about e.g. severity in children. But I think it was probably a bad decision in places where COVID containment was implausible, e.g. the US. — PolitiTweet.org
