I'd be _very_ wary of articles on medium by armchair epidemiologists

But at least that one has endorsements from actual epidemiologists, and seems largely uncontroversial amongst those in the know. Lots are just flawed data analysis without context by tech bros.

Sorry this post has got a bit /links-y. For the avoidance of doubt I'm agreeing with your general point.

Indeed.

Stay safe people: wash your hands, not your brain.

But the author of the article linked above is a 'Creator of viral applications with >20M users'
