Friday assorted links
1. Were the experts too slow to embrace travel restrictions? (NYT) And the Covid culture that is German (short video).
2. Does personality drive moral judgement?: Polite deontologists and curious consequentialists.
3. My rewrite of this thread: doctors hate highly beneficial but somewhat inaccurate testing methods that lower their status and good feelings about themselves.
4. Further results on “dry tinder” in the Nordics: “My results show that a large share of the excess mortality in Sweden in April 2020 may be partially explained by a vulnerable, elderly population due to very mild flu seasons in 18/19 and 19/20 as well as very few deaths during the 2019 summer compared to earlier years and compared to other Nordic countries.”
5. John Cochrane on political diversity in the AEA.
