    Hot take: most public health experts will be overjoyed when the pandemic ends, because we can finally stop working ourselves to exhaustion (also because...well) It's the weird grifters who'll really be disappointed

        Can you do a impact assesment to find out how much overworked public health experts damage public health?

        I think in the United States there is a lot of overlap between well-credentialed experts and careerist, self-serving and attention-seeking behavior, and that helps explain the skewed range of debate and poor health outcomes

        I wonder to what extent this is a function of high income inequality. Credentialed experts may feel a lot of pressure to self-promote in order to try to keep up with their higher-paid counterparts in industry, finance, etc.

        Called that a while back... and it is evidenced by their increasingly desperate claims.

        Rest up this summer because it'll be business as usual next fall.

        Not dying of COVID-19 would be really nice! I’m sure many doctors/nurses are looking forward to work days without hot as hell PPE. Personally I really miss live music and art galleries. Post pandemic parties will be so LIT. Probably some time before we can do this safely though.
