About every two weeks since January, it seems there are people who say that it's too expensive to take bold action. And roughly every two weeks later it gets much more expensive, and the options become narrower. This, despite having China, and then Italy, to give us a sense of the severity, and urgency.
These are hard choices. There are no easy answers at this stage. I think there's also a large degree of cognitive dissonance at play, where people aren't really able to grasp that this is all actually happening.
Personally, I think we should have done this weeks ago. I think it's good we're doing it now, but we lost time and it's gonna cost a fortune. Rolling the dice on this virus feels reckless. That seems to be the opinion of people like Bill Gates, Taleb, Fauci, etc.
