Lessons learned -- * Conclusion: Against the brave new normal . . . . . . . . . What just happened? The human cost of the emergency response to COVID-19 has far outweighed the benefits. That's the sobering verdict of a trio of scholars - a biologist, a statistician, and a philosopher - in this comprehensive assessment of the worst panic-induced disaster in history. As the media fanned the flames of panic, government officials and a new elite of scientific experts ignored the established protocols for mitigating a dangerous disease. Instead, they shut down the world economy, closed every school, confined citizens to their homes, and threated to enforce a regime of extreme social distancing indefinitely. And the American public - amazingly enough - complied without protest. Modestly but relentlessly focused on what we know and don't know about the coronovirus, Douglas Axe, William M. Briggs, and Jay W. Richards demonstrate in this eye-opening study what real experts can contribute when a pandemic strikes.
