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.

DCP (Never Go Outside Again or You’ll Die) @PurpleBaptistWhen 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/jaa34o6ASlShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

That sure looks like cherry picking to me.

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 …

I could provide many more anecdotes since there has been so much extremely dangerous misinformation put out by people in positions of power. For example, the "Chair of the New York City Council Health Committee". https://twitter.com/Aelkus/status/1241843673006030848 …
