Just yesterday I listened to an interview with a medical expert, and the host asked him if he should cancel his domestic holiday plans. The host assured him that was premature.
And yet here we are the next day. The situation is evolving rapidly.

Your personal risk to become infected via $generic_domestic_holidays is pretty low, but the risk to increase the overall threat-vector by allowing open flights from domestic zones is very high. The personal assessment just differs from the supervising political assessment, while the observed/assessed situation is exactly the same. Also: be careful with "experts", whenever that label is used, you should be very wary. A "medical expert" doesn't inherently know anything about politics at scale, he just (simplification alert) knows which medication to apply when which symptoms arise.

- stoicShell 7y agoJoe Rogan has had such an ad hoc expert just this week, highly recommended. A sobering cold and factual shower.
- tyleo 7y agoAgreed, it’s amazing the range of guests Joe Rogan has on his show. Admittedly some are more witch doctors than actual doctors but his recent conversation with Michael Osterholm was the real deal.
