Trust the experts works if the experts deliver. The kind of interdisciplinary work you envision: folks in viral transmission, aerosols, virus kinetics, social science cooperating requires epistemic humility, not circling the wagons without delivering.

What I like about the article is it acknowledges that everyone is an epistemic trespasser. An epidemiologist who is not an education expert, for example, is still trespassing in terms of discussing school closures.
