"The Sober Math Everyone Must Understand about the Pandemic":
Jason S Warner, March 16, 2020. Issue One: Social Norms
Are Powerful Motivators and Getting in the Way of People Taking
the Right Steps in Response to the Pandemic: One of the current
problems with addressing the pandemic is the social pressures of
taking action today. It’s awkward, and feels like an
over-reaction. The reason it feels like an overreaction is that
most people OVERWEIGHT the currently reported cases and
inherently UNDERWEIGHT the mathematics of how the virus is
spreading and what will happen in about 30 days time. This is
because our brains tend to think linearly as opposed to
logarithmically.
