Alex Epstein on the "living death" of Covid-19 panic

Some people with [the coronavirus] are afraid of death.  I'm afraid of living death.  I'm afraid of a decade or more where we lose because we're just in this state of panic and we no longer produce value and we're no longer free to interact with one another and we're just perpetually terrified of this virus.  That's what I'm afraid of most of all.
