Abstract (english)
The rampant spreading of COVID-19 has been accompanied by an equally unconstrained spreading of misinformation about all things that relate to it. In view of the high stakes surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, characteristic of a public health emergency, we argue in this chapter that laypersons should not only defer to experts, but that both laypersons and experts should practice restraint in exercising public speech and deliberation. First, the chapter discusses the difficulties that laypersons may have in recognizing relevant expertise, and it specifies ways of overcoming them. It argues that the restraint laypersons should exercise consists in not meddling in empirical questions regarding the virus. Second, the chapter draws up a list of standards that experts must abide by when communicating evidence and recommendations to laypersons. Among these are being explicit about underlying aims, exercising epistemic humility, and following their own advice.
