Thank you for the great work—I wonder which other fields might benefit from the same treatment (all of them?).
One note: you mark “built environment” as low downside risk. Is this true? I’d assume that a constant low-level exposure to pathogens is what builds up our immune systems (perhaps why allergies and asthma levels are rising is our increasingly disinfected environments?) so I’d assume that built environments (which I presume mean those with controlled air-flow and sealed from the outside) actually do carry possible significant downside risks through weakening immune systems.
I am not an expert and hold this opinion weakly, just wanted to learn more :)
Edit: likewise for “drills and online classes”—we have seen it has a mental impact on children when they do shooter drills, and that online classes have costs in the socializing of children. Perhaps we do not mean the same when we say “low downside risk”?
