Area 45 pandemic podcast

The pandemic is quickly threatening to turn in to a financial crisis. I'm brooding on that for upcoming posts.

    Prof. Cochrane,

    You might want to remove that medium link because the author is not an epidemiologist (he's a VP of a small tech company) and most of his medium articles are about writing funny stories, jobs in tech, and star wars. Additionally, his data sourcing for e.g. Chart 7 is dubious, and that's just one issue among many.

    No need to publish this comment.

      We don't punish people for who they are, but for what they do, or in science for what they say or write. Please do point out problems with the content of the link in addition to the source for one one chart.

Comments are welcome. Keep it short, polite, and on topic.

Thanks to a few abusers I am now moderating comments. I welcome thoughtful disagreement. I will block comments with insulting or abusive language. I'm also blocking totally inane comments. Try to make some sense. I am much more likely to allow critical comments if you have the honesty and courage to use your real name.
