Today: Risk distortion is a problem when it comes to public health.

Listen: Risk and COVID-19. Are we talking about it all wrong?

"What I think we fail to do to this day, unfortunately, is to adjust our messaging to our understanding of the risk," @zeynep says. http://wbur.fm/3rydxjm 
. @zeynep on why we should stop giving people binary COVID instructions:

"Giving people ... intuition about transmission mechanisms rather than rules that never work, like six feet or not. Distinguishing indoors and outdoors -- this empowers people." http://wbur.fm/3rydxjm
