Bioethics Academic Director Dr. Robert Klitzman discusses how biases are at work in the current public health crisis in an op-ed for Psychology Today.
As the coronavirus escalates in the United States, the public is responding in two very different ways. While some voluntarily shelter in place, and take all necessary precautions to stay healthy, others are going about business as usual, more readily taking on risk.
Dr. Klitzman urges readers to consider one another's varying responses in these anxious times. "In the upcoming months, many of us will have to make multiple tough decisions, and live with the consequences. We must each manage these risks as rationally as we can, and encourage others around us to do so as well," he writes.
