Look, your publication (and many many others) misled the public by not digging into the science, and not looking into what the great health authorities in Hong Kong, Taiwan, S.Korea and rest of Asia (where some of the world's best infectious disease specialists are) were doing.

Defensiveness is going to get people to further lose trust, and also CDC has a web page and a Twitter account. Most of the time, they are right. But as we saw, they can lag. Intermediaries have most value if they help us sift through exactly those moments.

I have never held back criticizing any institution I worked for. Not once. Not as an academic either. I criticize NYT all the time, and argue with Atlantic writers! Go ahead! But okay, defensiveness is human; that's why figuring out what went wrong has to be policy like NTSB.

If the WHO and CDC are giving wrong advice, what exactly is a journalist supposed to do? The *experts* are the ones who were wrong here, not the journalists. So why are you attacking the media and not the people who were actually wrong?

Check the science, and look around the world where there are authorities with deep expertise *and* proven track record as well? You know, CDC and WHO have their own twitter accounts. We don't need intermediaries who parrot them even though they are usually correct.
