As a follow-up to yesterday. I was talking with someone about coronavirus news coverage -- we were both lamenting its possibly-wrong-never-uncertain nature. He said that at least we were ahead of our ancestors because when something like this struck they had no ability to get information from one place to another with any speed, meaning people didn't know what was going on.
I'm not sure -- they had no information and knew nothing, but it seems like we have a biblical-flood level of information and we know very little more. We should be better off, but it doesn't seem like anyone wants to wait and learn before speaking.
