It doesn't have to be easily applicable to the average person's life to be incredibly important from a public health perspective. Can't speak for the media sadly

I’ll always struggle with that combination of facts / opinions . We have science done that cannot be applied to our personal habits , but is incredibly helpful in deciding public health decisions .pic.twitter.com/mekjTz9o2q

Never said it can't be applied. It just takes careful consideration. Things that are meaningless to one person can be very meaningful to 15 million people

So as a result of epidemiology, the entire population have policies foisted upon them whether they apply to them personally or not ?
