Sometimes, like now, the data point in many directions: it's a tossup. But what I've seen is incredible arrogance on both sides of the flubro/exponential bro divide. Worse yet, I've seen more raw displays of authority bias in the past few months from people with medical degrees than ever. And none of them agree on anything.

I have many great friends and guests on my national TV and radio shows who are medical experts. Half believe this is the pandemic to end all pandemics. They quote Centers for Disease Control and Prevention models that report as many as 1.7 million Americans could die. So people are rightfully scared out of their minds. American business is shutting down. But the other half of my medical friends and expert guests say this is an overreaction. They predict fewer Americans will die than during the flu season of 2017-18 that killed about 80,000 people. They don't believe we need to close down American business and lock ourselves in our homes. The problem is we won't know who's right until it's over.
