Curated. I found this both an object-level-helpful post for the coronavirus situation, as well as a generally relevant rationality post.
I think this is on the edge of how much a post can be “aim-to-persuade” while feeling reasonable to curate, but it served an important function in this case and I don’t think I would have suggested Jacob change much about the post in that dimension. I liked that my primary takeaway from the post was not “you should worry about coronavirus” but you have social permission to worry if you think it’s appropriate.
For people who are interested in model-driven discussion of how to prepare and what concrete things to worry about (or not), I recommend this thread.
