The Phantom Risk of Covid-19

Tyler Cowen.

When it comes to Covid-19, I worry about the problem of “phantom risk.” Right now the risks of Covid-19 are very real, but at some point we still will feel those risks when they are no longer present, much as some amputees may feel a “phantom limb.”

How this might play out?

I think we’ve already hit that point. The current government-mandated ‘protections’ are far out of proportion to the actual danger involved.
