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

The public cannot individually pick between experts making absolutely opposite claims who often have similar credentials. That's why we needed CDC and WHO to do a stellar job, to lead. Alas. A pandemic is a communication emergency. I wish it were as easy as "trust the experts."

Not sure if this is in response to my tweets above or the original thread by Dr. Buckee about experts—but yes, I agree that “trust the experts” is a useless message when we don’t even have consensus on major issues such as better ventilation, rapid tests & more b/w “experts”

earning public trust means a willingness to listen to the non-experts and learn from them too. Especially in communities that have been marginalized
