          Abstract

          Lessons learned from a Covid-19 hot spot in Germany regarding dread risk and drop in Emergency Room volume.

          Summary

          A major regional hospital — RoMed in Rosenheim, Germany — has seen a disturbing decline in the number of non-Covid-19 patients presenting for emergency care. While there may be value in reducing elective medical treatments during the coronavirus pandemic, emergency care is essential for patients with severe heart problems, appendicitis, paralytic ileus, or advanced cancer. Patients and physicians alike must not hesitate to seek or direct care in such cases, where delay will lead to preventable adverse outcomes, including death.

            Dread risk, September 11, and fatal traffic accidents.

            Gerd Gigerenzer (2004)
            People tend to fear dread risks, that is, low-probability, high-consequence events, such as the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. If Americans avoided the dread risk of flying after the attack and instead drove some of the unflown miles, one would expect an increase in traffic fatalities. This hypothesis was tested by analyzing data from the U.S. Department of Transportation for the 3 months following September 11. The analysis suggests that the number of Americans who lost their lives on the road by avoiding the risk of flying was higher than the total number of passengers killed on the four fatal flights. I conclude that informing the public about psychological research concerning dread risks could possibly save lives.

              Out of the frying pan into the fire: behavioral reactions to terrorist attacks.

              Gerd Gigerenzer (2006)
              A low-probability, high-damage event in which many people are killed at one point of time is called a dread risk. Dread risks can cause direct damage and, in addition, indirect damage mediated though the minds of citizens. I analyze the behavioral reactions of Americans to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and provide evidence for the dread hypothesis: (i) Americans reduced their air travel after the attack; (ii) for a period of one year following the attacks, interstate highway travel increased, suggesting that a proportion of those who did not fly instead drove to their destination; and (iii) for the same period, in each month the number of fatal highway crashes exceeded the base line of the previous years. An estimated 1,500 Americans died on the road in the attempt to avoid the fate of the passengers who were killed in the four fatal flights.
