Pandemic Panic. Justified Or Not? What Does History Teach Us?

In 2009, Dr. Fauci gave an interview about how to deal with H1N1 influenza. It is eerily similar to the same advice he gives today, but without the social distancing, closing of businesses and destruction of the U.S. and world economies.

We need to learn to think for ourselves, study the experts with differing opinions, and not fall mindlessly into believing everything the media says about the novel coronavirus or COVID-19.
