Agreed that COVID-19 is a serious threat worth countering. Our under-reaction to other serious threats is probably both psychological and evolutionary. Psychologically, COVID-19 is salient because it’s a novel threat and our brain is hardwired to notice and react to changes. Evolutionarily, humans have encountered and survived infectious disease, but car crashes and global warming are historically new. |
