Article Abstract:
A model of risky behavior of an epidemic is described which states that negative expectations over the future of the epidemic induce more current risky behavior. This effect can accelerate the spread of the disease in epidemic's early stages and the effect of policy interventions depends on whether the intervention is anticipated.
