If you are driving along the coast and you hear on the radio some report of a earthquake by the ocean, do you wait until you know how big the tsunami will be or do you just do your best to get the fuck out of there?

Also, how hard is it to understand that if Taleb's argument was turned into action on January 26th (57 days ago!) the number of people being impacted would be an much smaller fraction of what it is today?

Also, today we have a virus that is "only" killing 1% of its people, and you seem to be okay with it. What about the next ones? Do you think we should take a "wait-and-see" attitude for the next epidemic that might turn out to kill 5% of the infected? What if it turns out to kill 10%?
