      2021 will hopefully be the year that the armchair epidemiologists stop being wrong about infectious disease, excess mortality, etc, and move on to being wrong about something else Maybe economics?

      To clarify, because of course I need to (sigh) this is a joke about the twitter randoms who have deemed themselves experts not a critique of interdisciplinary work

      I'm currently working on a paper with 3 economists, an immunologist, a demographer, and 2 statisticians on COVID-19. Non-epis have great and valuable insight!

      But the massive wave of people who have been posting random graphs they made themselves from unreferenced data...those will hopefully move on

          C’mon man. Some of us have been bereft by our so-called experts (not you. You’re awesome). And live in very off-the-run places.https://twitter.com/SamirKayande/status/1384338629292527623 …

          Alberta covid stats, with a focus on the B.1.1.7 variant. I see some good news for the first time in a while, but not enough to send my child back to school. For about a week, the variant growth has consistently been below the regression line. Means growth might be slowing. /1 pic.twitter.com/LhQVE9Ki4G
