Just in case for people who don't get the essence of it; Taleb narrows it down:
We called for a simple exercise of the precautionary principle in a domain where it mattered:
Interconnected complex systems have some attributes that allow some things to cascade out of control, delivering extreme outcomes.
Enact robust measures that would have been, at the time, of small cost: constrain mobility. Immediately. Later, we invoked a rapid investment in preparedness: tests, hospital capacity, means to treat patients. Just in case, you know. Things can happen.
