That is great that Epidemiologists can work from home so much. I would have thought they would need to be in the field more.

You can run a SAS model anywhere. Their job is not to go door to door, checking up on COVID patients, their job is to sift through aggregate data to mathematically establish trends using stat equations that account for all the complex variables to account for and eliminate "correlation is not equal to causation" fallacies with hard facts (math). 1,000 people is considered a small sample size. It's like saying that accountants should be working on the factory floor more, and whereas I'm sure a few field trips are great for perspective, their job is at the strategic level, not the tactical level.

I am related to an epidemiologist. The best part is I no longer have to explain she’s not a “skin doctor.”
The worst part is pilots who didn’t know the difference 11 months ago now know more than multi-time published epidemiologist with a PhD.

[sarcasm font]Well, COVID will go away right after Georgia, Pennsylvania and Arizona finish their count. That’s how Bill Gates planned it. Please keep up. [/end sarcasm font]

That being said, the consensus in the scientific community seems overwhelmingly to be more for one view over the other.

The consensus in the scientific community can often be horribly wrong, too. That is how science advances.

The scientific consensus was also years ahead on smoking, asbestos, glyphosate, leaded gas, the list goes on and on. Ignore them at your own peril, but unless you have a graduate degree in the subject, you're making a reckless bet against a lot of smart people who've dedicated their life work to the subject.

I couldn't say it better. To be fair, people are a lot worse on the internet than in person, but the misinformation is mind blowing.
