I consider statements about what "most specialist doctors" were doing, especially without citation, to be a form of the misinformation I'm talking about.
If there were people who didn't take the oncoming pandemic seriously enough, they should probably revisit their priors and processes by which they come to conclusions.
But it doesn't mean we should start posting about it on the internet as justification for speculating on things we don't understand, and simultaneously casting doubt on the expertise or authority of an entire group of professionals.
- saiya-jin 7y agoDude you are so out of touch here - I was talking about our friends - if your wife is indeed a doctor, then you have tons of those in your inner circle. This is first hand experience, nothing less, in biggest Swiss hospital, nothing less. There you have it, a citation from person directly talking to those mentioned. An update - just learned that 1 year old daughter of our friends, both are doctors, is tested positive, probably from her nursery/child carer. The poor little thing is sick for more than a week. They still think they are OK to continue to work and not being sick since only one of them shows mild symptoms which could be anything. How the fuck is that possible? With doctors? En Suisse? Some doctors, while experts in their narrow field, are just doing what they are told and don't do much research outside of their field. Please don't tell everybody to just blindly trust appointed experts, that can be a dangerous advice in these times.
