Start with Mnookin, The Panic Virus, Chapter 14; then review Chapters 16 and 17; finally, read Chapter 19. Keep in mind the real-world considerations for this topic. What can we reasonably expect the public to understand? How well can non-expert journalists analyze the evidence? How are people to determine which authorities to trust?
