      An important thread on expertise— but would also add that we have many *silos of expertise*, w/ fewer people who are able to orchestrate a coordinated effort that leverages the right expertise for the right problem to create and implement an actual epidemic *response* https://t.co/X0phB9pqWU

      2/ Studying other epidemic responses, such as Ebola, it took so much more than just epidemiologists, virologists or physicians. For instance, anthropologists played a significant role in understanding the cultural & social aspects of transmission dynamicshttps://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/how-should-public-health-officials-respond-when-important-local-rituals-increase-risk-contagion/2020-01 …

      3/ At times in the #covid19 response, it has felt like we have so many experts (& sort of experts, and nonexperts etc as mentioned in original thread). But- how many *response* experts do we have? People who can understand enough about various fields to lead the response.

      4/ At @WHO, @DrMikeRyan leads this role— with both on the ground experience & leadership; @RanuDhillon played a similar role in Guinea’s Ebola response. In the US, I’m not sure how many folks we have in the upper rungs of government who have experience *leading a response*

      5/ Perhaps we do— & hopefully we do. The CDC EIS officers and others are trained specifically for this purpose but haven’t heard much publicly from them (whether that is bc they aren’t allowed to, or bc they are busy doing the work)— either way, we need experts, also need leaders

      IMO the public would *love* to be able to "trust the experts" but many experts are in denial about the reality. Which experts? CDC and WHO made baseless claims about sense of security for months. It took a rebellion of sorts to get WHO to even discuss ventilation. @RanuDhillon

          We have MDs and Ivy epidemiologists claiming everything is overblown. We have almost every top newspaper in the world stuck on beach pictures, many deliberately misleading. We have had no "shadow CDC or WHO formed by academics, to fill the void...

          The experts, as a group, needed to fight for and earn public trust; that's not what happened in this pandemic. I say this with enormous respect to many *individual* experts who are doing excellent work *and* fighting so hard, doing media, social media, etc. But that's not enough.
