    Sometimes I wonder why no one has made a documentary of epidemiologists during the pandemic, and then I remember that my job mostly consists of meetings, phonecalls, and staring at spreadsheets

        *Open scene. Gid is sitting at a computer. He turns to face the camera* "This is what life has been for the last 6 months" *He turns back. 30 minutes later, a graph appears on the screen*

        *Idle tapping. Several lines of code appear on the screen. Dramatic music for effect* "And now...we run the code" *Code runs. Error messages fill the screen. Gid leans back in his chair* "Just another day at the coal face" *Sips coffee. Spills some on shirt*

        They made movies about Bletchley Park, and it was pretty much meetings, phone calls, staring at bits of paper, and waiting for big honking mechanical computers to finish.

        Similar to how their are no riveting movies starring economists. 4 hours staring at R, 4 hours staring at whiteboard, realizes he transposed a sub and a superscript......end of movie

        OK technically a beautiful mind was about an Economist, but Nash was a much more entertaining Economist than normal.

        There’s a doc that was on Apple TV but I don’t have it so I didn’t see it. I believe it had all kinds of medical professions in it. Let me see if I can find it.

        Yep and not seeing the impact of public health authoritarianism on the people who have lost their livelihoods......

        Yes, but fortunately the public health authoritarians have been largely ignored, giving a huge boost to the funeral home, cremation, and tombstone industries. Plenty of jobs there, and undertakers have never been in such high demand.

        "Spillover" is very good, informative with interesting stories about the virus hunters. An NG contributor compiled/wrote it. I'd read a book about epidemiologists for sure!
