It's usually unwise of specialists to stray out of their area of expertise and sadly Ethan simply proves that point here. If we're interested in science then we should look at the data, and the data on SARS-COV-2 tells a very different story from that presented by endless media sensationalism. Ordinary people can be forgiven for failing to look at the data and understanding what it really tells us; it's disappointing that a professional scientist should similarly fail to perform even the most rudimentary analysis and draw the inescapable conclusions therefrom, preferring instead merely to repeat and amplify an entirely erroneous narrative regarding the real (as opposed to hyperbolic) seriousness of SARS-COV-2.
