      So I love @zeynep but I do think public health people saw this coming because we understand outbreaks are complex, stochastic events with direct/indirect effects. The question is why didn't anyone listen?https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/03/what-really-doomed-americas-coronavirus-response/608596/?fbclid=IwAR1AmgYVkvZQuPAHskopffvpPm_XswEurXciyi4siSWkv3KmQ6XQpUfnoCU …

      Agreed. I think it’s almost irresponsible to criticize our medical community and science community. They have been pushing their knowledge up a steep hill made up of anti-science, anti-education, and anti-institution for more than a decade now.

      I was not criticizing the public health people at all!

          “the reality-based, science-friendly communities and information sources many of us depend on also largely failed.” I think it’s the political-based policy makers who failed to heed the expertise of scientists.

          I think that risk assmnt is not just bio. It also includes supply chains, leadership, messaging, etc. Sci could not predict how limited supply chain would be, how disparately loc gov would respond. That is all a failure from @POTUS who drove the narrative or amp Fox’s narrative

          Zeynep, I admire your work in changing public opinion of masks & I think your Atlantic piece makes great points, but tbh I think your summary of media reporting is a bit one-sided - leaves out many articles that took it seriously.

          I have a piece that discusses your critique along with far more political media-blaming from the right. https://thebulwark.com/the-media-is-not-the-problem-with-covid-19/ … Would love your opinion
