Thank you both for this. I think part of the problem is a lack of education. not just in science but as the prof said critical thinking and a knowledge not just about science but how science works how it scientists work and come to there conclusions. In the midst of the current crisis clear rational thinking and clear communication is needed more and more not just from medical professionals but in the politicians as well. That though I think is the hardest thing to get a clear consistant message from a political leadership.
