We’ve had worldwide epidemics before but never before have politicians reacted the wrong way.
In 2009 we had the H1N1 virus in America. Well, they didn't close McDonald's, they didn't close the airports. This time for whatever reason politicians, academics and journalists seem to have overreacted and said we have to close the whole world.
We've had many epidemics and never before have we closed the whole world. So in my view, they made mistakes and that's what has made this so horrible.
