It's easy with hindsight to go through any news reporting on covid and point out the mistakes because the situation has been quickly evolving for the last few months. You're comparing what you know now to what was known at the time of each report. Most of the recommendations line up with what the CDC/FDA/WHO/US gov was saying at the time.

That's a bold claim! I've been following this since December and talked about it in my podcast before people in the US, my co-host included, were taking it very seriously.

Not only that, I was ordered by the Taiwanese CDC to wear a mask for 14 days back in February after taking a brief weekend trip to Japan.

I haven't put much faith in the WHO since experiencing their politically-driven incompetence during SARS 18 years ago when I was a student. In many ways, this entire experience has felt like a replay of SARS, but with a few new verses.

Not at all.

We are using what we know now to evaluate what tech people said vs what the media said - and the tech people were overwhelmingly right and the media overwhelmingly wrong.
