      #12 It is important for public health scientists and officials to listen to the public, who are living the public health consequences. This pandemic has proved that many non-epidemiologists understand public health better than some epidemiologists. / END https://twitter.com/robinmonotti/status/1321785323676991489 …

          This makes so much sense but is unfortunately almost an antithesis to current policies in most countries around the world.
