      By "a few outside of tech circles", did you mean thousands of scientists/doctors/nurses, and the hundreds of thousands of people who have opened up a history book?

      Do you have some examples of these scientists/doctors/nurses who were wayyyyy ahead of the curve like @balajis? I’m genuinely curious.

      I mean this with the greatest of respect: but am I supposed to know who this Balaji is? Can you quantify "how far ahead of the curve" he has been? Can you define what this curve actually is? I'm genuinely curious.

      Balaji was warning us about coronavirus as a potential pandemic since late January. Since there were thousands of scientists and doctors doing the same surely you point me to a few?

      Is this a serious question? Scientists have been warning of a potential pandemic for decades. Victoria Y Fan. Dean T Jamison. Lawrence H Summers. Alex Ross. Nellie Bristol. Amelie Rioux. Tore Godal. Benedikte Alveberg. Reporters like Sigal Samuel. Again: are you being serious?

      Don’t be pedantic. Which doctors/scientists warned us about COVID-19, as potential global crisis, in January, like Balaji did?

      Are you talking about this from Balaji made on Jan 31st? "What if this coronavirus is the pandemic that public health people have been warning about for years?" Is this the "warning" you were talking about? Don't you think the "public health people" deserve the credit for that?

      If they applied their general frameworks to this specific case, then sure. I haven't seen any examples of them doing so, and you haven't provided any either.

      My overarching point here is that the experts failed to apply their expertise when it was most needed, while the "tech guys", most who lacked formal training in epidemiology, were the ones warning us of the immense risk we faced.

      The overarching point is that the experts haven't "failed." They are at the front lines literally putting their lives on the line for us. They have warned us and they are dying to protect us. You should be giving them your thanks and not accusing them of failure.

      When the global Wuhanification crisis passes—and it will—we need a reckoning. What helped? What made things worse? Let’s consider the role of “experts” like Dr Rasmussen, a virologist at Columbia. 1/n pic.twitter.com/jaa34o6ASl

          That was a single anecdote. But the belief that experts and authorities have let the public down is shared by a fairly broad group of people. Even the editor of Vox is voicing it. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1241678325136982016 …
