I WILL NEVER FORGET WHEN THE CORONAVIRUS NEWS FIRST CAME ON THE TV, /POL/ THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE THE END OF THE WORLD AND THE MEDIA WAS SAYING IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND SO WAS /SCI/ AND THEN AFTER /POL/ STARTED TO REALIZE IT WASN'T THE END OF THE WORLD, THE MEDIA STARTED SAYING IT WAS THE END OF THE WORLD...

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TRUST THE "SCIENCE" WHEN THE "EXPERT" OPINIONS CAN EASILY CHANGE FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT?

THE MEDIA IS UTTER DOG SHIT BROS.

TRUST THE SCIENCE. BUT THE SCIENCE CHANGES WHENEVER WE WANT IT TO. ORWELL WAS RIGHT AND MKULTRA AND FIVE EYES ARE REAL AND THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT ARE TOO SOULLESS TO EVEN REALIZE WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

How do you think science works? Do you think that once a scientist says something, it's settled? Or do you think they continually gather information and update their consensus in accordance with new data?

I'm talking about how the media perverts science by taking a single study that was not peer-reviewed and claiming the science supports whatever the study was about, and then causing society to change assuming that one single study was objective fact. Facts versus myths, etc.

So trust the science, don't trust the media. Check actual peer reviewed research only.

There's a subculture on /pol/ who loves "happening" threads. They have fun getting people spooled up by claiming all kinds of disasters are about to happen like an asteroid hitting the planet and destroying all life. They're always on the lookout for fresh material. Only idiots take happening threads seriously.
When the coronavirus first hit the news, of course it was used to start a whole bunch of happening threads. This time last week they were warning that banks were about to collapse. Two weeks ago it was probably something about ufos invading. It's part of their culture but isn't to be taken seriously.

In fairness, they were right about the end of the world stuff... they just didn't realize the end would happen through widespread restriction of freedom of movement, association, practice of religion, control over personal autonomy, etc as opposed to reenacting Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman.

There's a lot of truth in this post.

How can we trust "expert" opinions when they constantly change? We see this all the time.
>Cholesterol is good! Cholesterol is bad!
>Coffee is good! Coffee is bad!
>Alcohol is good! Alcohol is bad!
These are media experts, or cherry-picked experts by the media, to put into articles, to get attention, to sell their advertising. When the media forgets its purpose to report the news as factually as possible, and instead thinks its purpose is to sell their product, the victim is Truth, and we all suffer.

I remember following the corona threads in late Dec. We were all buying DEENZ and prepping for two months of hell. We all thought covid was going to be a lot worse than what it really is.

Everyone thought it was going to be a crazy asymptomatic virus that attacked the lungs, nervous system and grooms the immune system to attack the host while it slowly dies aswell. No way to build natural long term immunity, doesn't show signs or symptoms for two weeks then kills the host, essentially quarantine proof.

Now it's just a literal flu, if that. I got it back in July and didn't notice until a friend told me to test because she caught it and we just finished hanging out. I had a headache for a couple week days, bought some beer and just drank away for a week binging on pizza and kino movies.

I dislike people like Dr. Fauci. It's ridiculous to act as confident as he does in his statements. People like him seemed to have missed the part of undergrad where you learn to take into account uncertainty. You have no fucking idea what course a pandemic is going to take. Yes you can say it's a bunch of s curves piled on top of each other until it's flattened. But do you know when it's going to be another exponential rise? Stop pretending you do.
>if we just do this

>if Trump/Governer of State whatever didn't do x, y, z we'd have saved 300k pepole!
Go look at the top states for COVID deaths per capita.
Lock downs are not sustainable everyone knows this. They didn't have a good testing infrastructure in place, so they presented lock downs as the only solution.
They simply can't admit they were buying time until the vaccine was widely available because they fucked up so bad.

Nevar forgat Fauci said
>“there’s no reason to be walking around with a mask”
It's the first commandment of coronavirus, and you're Moses?

The CDC so royally screwed up their handling of COVID it's almost negligent. They tried to blame it on Trump with stuff like the ventilators in New York, but oh wait that's not really what we should focus on lol sorry please don't use the sub standard rubbing alcohol we allowed into circulation because it doesn't really spread through surfaces.
Trump's handling of COVID has been discussed every minute for a whole year. Why not look at the leaders of the "Center for disease control" when discussing how the government controlled a disease?

I tried not to just include generic /pol/ points.

Trust isn't necessary a binary thing, but you should mostly trust close friends and family. Take any institutional knowledge in with a mindset of practicality. You can use the knowledge, but you don't have to trust in it.

Imperial College London doesn't get anywhere near the amount of blame that it should for this mess. It wasn't until their piece of shit model showed the worst nightmare of virus horror fiction that everyone got scared and governments went into overdrive taking away personal liberties. But once that ball got rolling, it was impossible to stop.
Even now /sci/ is full of people trying to spread as much fear of covid as possible to justify their initial reaction to the ICL model that we now know was about as accurate as the rants of a mentally ill drunk hobo. Even their best case "if we do everything perfect" scenario hasn't come close to coming true. Quite frankly malpractice of this magnitude should result in the complete dismantling of the responsible institute with ICL and everyone involved blackballed for life. Their shitty model was criminally irresponsible and I certainly would not be opposed to some of them seeing the inside of a prison for a couple of decades.

I will forever blame WHO for ever saying masks were not necessary

Idk how the supposed leading medical authority couldn't see how a 2 week asymptomatic incubation period wasn't enough to alert everyone to be cautious. There weren't going to have testing in time when IT TAKES TWO WEEKS TO SHOW SYMPTOMS and they knew that

Wait, why are you blaming the study instead of the state policy reactions? Individual countries handled the virus very differently, and have seen varying success.

I think administrations should be held accountable, but of course I don't expect that.

Now with Brazil sending it's "new strain" I worry we're going to be in this bullshit again in a couple months.

Tenure baby. Can't get rid of professors unless they break the law. Serious professional misconduct is rarely met with more than an internal enquiry. Even allegations of sexual assault don't go reported to the police. At Manchester where I worked for a while, there was one professor who was literally fucking a (mentally ill) student inside his office while his research group were outside. He use to hang his coat on the door to cover the window and get down to it. After a female staff member raised a complaint, the department eventually 'found evidence' suggesting that he may have breached his animal license terms. To avoid an internal review, he was allowed to simply move to another university.

Covid has really fucked the universities and nearly all are now showing a massive debt. They're now beginning to realise they can't afford all staff members. But don't worry, most professors have found themselves recently promoted to brand new administrative positions which are listed as 'critical' so there jobs are safe.

After 13 years of being in higher education research, I've finally decided I can't stand it anymore. I hate private sector research so still not sure what I will do. But I definitely want to quit.
