Another way to see it is that "panic" could save a million lives (eg through the use of quarentines). Is it worth it then? I'm not saying that it's an obvious answer (panic causes its own problems), but it is a trade-off worth considering.
- mytailorisrich 7y agoPanic is never productive. Saving lives requires a reasoned and reasonable approach. The trade-off between the options is being considered and quarantine is being used.
- Retric 7y agoPanic can very much be more productive than inaction. It’s not the optimal choice, but sometimes doing something right now is better than doing something even better a little later.
- mytailorisrich 7y agoPanic is not helpful (it should go without saying, but apparently not...). There is a huge gap between inaction and panic. There is no inaction at the moment, whether more actions should be taken is another issue.
