Nassim Taleb, who coined the term "black swan" and predicted the 2008 financial crisis, spoke on Bloomberg TV. He said the coronavirus is NOT a black swan event. This is a white swan event, i.e. it was totally predictable. He talked about pandemics in the same 2007 book.
He criticized the WHO, and also companies that had no tail-risk protection. He praised Trump for banning flights from Wuhan mid-January and screening/quarantining many passengers.
