(Janet Levy) Most people believe the coronavirus was a Black Swan, an unexpected event of large magnitude with unprecedented consequences.

Experts had been warning of one – though not of the coronavirus per se – for some years. In 2019, the government had even conducted months-long pandemic preparation drills. Taleb’s annoyance is at the diminution of his coinage to a cliché.
