That's what experts do - they continue to learn more, and adapt accordingly.

I don't know who these bozos are in the video, either, but they are not experts, unless you consider them experts on spreading misinformation via inflammatory and misleading YouTube videos.



In other words, they're making it up as they go along and have a baked in excuse for their lies, misconceptions, mistakes, corruption and incompetence

Scientists should never be blindly trusted as if they're demigods, they should always be questioned and scrutinized. The problem with society today is that many people will blindly trust someone if they have a degree, title, or fancy job description.

When dealing with a new threat, scientists don't have the information or knowledge to accurately handle the situation, so they're just going to make guesses or hypotheses -- and in this case their original guesses turned out to be mostly wrong. Much of the nation did not need to be locked down, only a few densely packed cities and nursing homes. The rest of the nation should have remained open.

Therefore we should get rid of pilots and have fast food workers fly planes instead.

Right?!



I'm not quite understanding your sarcasm here.

You can't always blindly trust a scientific study, just like you can't blindly trust a scientist.
Not all scientists agree with each other, and not all scientific studies on a particular topic come to the same conclusions.
When the experts arguing the point you want to believe are few and far between. Probability says you're wrong. That's science too.
