It might seem reasonable to think that in the early days of a pandemic involving an unfamiliar pathogen, the public ought to allow the government leeway in its imposition of extreme measures, such as the virtual shut down of economic activity. But the initial impression ought to dissolve when one reminds oneself that we're talking about government, a monopolistic organization shot through with perverse incentives because it gets its revenue through coercion (taxation) and faces no profit-and-lost test. (We also must understand that extreme measures were imposed on the basis of a widely...
Coronavirus
Our Foolish Politicized Era
It's ridiculous to think you can divine people's politics merely from their views on the pandemic or any given policy response to it. Similarly, it's absurd to rebut a view by referring to the holder's politics.
How to Panic the Public
Disseminate worst-case scenarios, taking care to ignore the dubious assumptions that go into modeling while vilifying anyone, no matter how well-qualified, who refuses to ignore them. Emphasize the (alleged) benefits of a draconian government response, taking care to ignore the costs while vilifying anyone, no matter how well-qualified, who refuses to ignore them. Repeat as necessary, preferably often.

How to Misuse Global COVID-19 Statistics
Have you heard about Somalia's COVID-19 policy? In the official statistics, Somalia has just 3,362 confirmed infections and 97 confirmed deaths from COVID-19. On a per capita basis, the country has a death toll just barely above New Zealand, and below other widely reported success stories like South Korea, Japan, Norway, Germany, etc. Yet, my guess is you probably have not heard much about how Somalia defeated the coronavirus. Why is that? The reason is that, implicitly, no one thinks Somalia's statistics reflect the underlying reality. Still the recurring target of US drone strikes and...

Is Sweden’s COVID-19 Response a Cautionary Tale or a Model to Follow? It’s Complicated
In the ongoing debate about lockdowns in the US, Sweden has become the battleground. To mainstream media outlets, Sweden's experience is cited as a cautionary tale. CBS writes that Sweden has become "an example of how not to handle COVID-19". Meanwhile, to those who have been skeptical of the lockdown policy all along, Sweden's results are occasionally cited in glowing terms. For instance, Jeffrey Tucker of AIER tweeted this out last week, showing that Sweden's daily death toll has slowed to a crawl: So which version is true? Did Sweden's less restrictive approach to COVID-19 usher in the...
