Unboxing, influencers and housewives

Early on in this pandemic, I made this wish that we’d listen to the nerds (scientists, researchers and data analysts) more than the influencers. We need to study the physical world, continue to understand it as things unfold and make informed decisions as we all try to deal with a virus.

Except, it seems for everything you believe in, you can find some kind of “expert” to support your point of view; they’re harassing doctors and health care workers in Cebu now and we’re still quite focused on the influencers. So much for that wish, at least for now.
