Abstract

The brief article deals with the following questions: Was the adaptive toolbox of heuristics ecologically rational and specifcally accurate in the initial stages of COVID-19, which was characterized by epistemic uncertainty? In other words, in dealing with COVID-19 did the environmental structural variables allow the success of a given heuristic strategy?
