Joel Sweeney+FollowWhy COVID Advice Kept ChangingEver wonder why COVID advice felt like it was always changing? A top W.H.O. official just admitted nobody got it 100% right. Turns out, it’s tough for people to accept that science evolves and advice shifts as we learn more. The real takeaway? We all need to get better at talking about what we know—and what we don’t—especially when things are moving fast. Makes you rethink those early pandemic debates, right? #COVID19 #WHO #HealthCommunication #PandemicLessons #Health22Share
William Vasquez+FollowR0 Isn’t the Whole Story!Everyone’s obsessed with R0 (the basic reproduction number) during outbreaks, but here’s the tea: it’s not the magic number we think it is. R0 only tells part of the story—other factors like transmission rates, recovery times, and population structure matter just as much (if not more) for predicting and controlling epidemics. Overreliance on R0 can actually lead to bad public health decisions! Next time you see R0 in the headlines, remember: context is everything. #Epidemiology #PublicHealth #ScienceExplained #PandemicLessons #Health00Share
