Much of the world has spent the last two years modeling how different policies will reduce COVID cases or deaths—with little to no regard to how they damage humanity. Today I sit down with a man whose job is to actually quantify these harms.

Paul Frijters is a visiting professor of wellbeing economics at the London School of Economics and co-author of “The Great Covid Panic: What Happened, Why, and What to Do Next.”

“There's kind of a madness that’s crept into the population looking for other crazy things to do…We are as it were in a madly stampeding herd,” Frijters says.
