David Crowe | Coronavirus COVID-19: The Risks, The Testing, & The Treatments
Social Media Fear, 1920s Connectivity and Biological Propaganda
Crowe discusses how social media and modern transportation connectivity allow fear to "rocket around the world" faster than in previous eras. He characterizes much of the current information as "biological propaganda" filled with false claims about the effectiveness of social distancing. He argues that the environment of interaction (lovers vs. employees) makes universal infectivity numbers like R0 nonsensical.
