If your criterion for judging whether someone is an expert is to listen to them for uncritically for 15 minutes,
can I interest you in these magic beans?
They prevent you catching coronavirus. It's the natural, organic treatment that Big Pharma doesn't want you to know about. You swallow the beans whole, and they explode in your stomach. The cell walls of the beans fragment and migrate up to your lungs via your alimentary canal - this is why it's VITAL to inhale when you vomit, don't listen to doctors, they don't know shit - and they're EXACTLY shaped to catch the coronavirus when it gets into your lungs. It's 100% clinically proven to work.
They're only $99.99 a pound, and you need to eat a pound a day for the rest of your life. Sure it's an expense, but you'll thank me for it when us bean-vomiters/inhalers are the only survivors left to take over what's left of the world. If you're still alive in a year, you'll thank me. Get them before Big Pharma suppresses them!

but it's just one academic having their opinion on a radio show.
There are thousands of disagreements that happen all the time in science, often between people just as credentialed as Osterholm. And the one bit of scientific consensus about Covid 19 is that we need to study it more, as there are many factors about it that we have yet to establish. So anybody who speaks with certainty about prevention, for example, is doing so without substantial firm data about this new virus, and hence it can only speculative. There won't be any scientifically rigorous comparative studies of different methods because it's new and we're in the middle of a crisis, and that sort of epidemiological study is quite tricky to pull apart confounding factors, so you need time and well-documented large cohorts and controls
I don't know why you've decided this one individual is the gospel, enough to shout in capslock at other people, but it shows quite a bit of naivety and credulousness on your part.
