Flatten the Curve of Armchair Epidemiology
It&#x27;s completely logical that engineers have professional deformation.<p>Society is in crisis and there are metrics. How can you realistically expect engineers not to start debugging and interpreting the metrics?<p>Yes. Engineers aren&#x27;t medical domain experts, but the experts and&#x2F;or political leadership failed. The models are not being shared. The process isn&#x27;t transparent, nor optimized for quick interventions based on incomplete information. And claims and policies differ around the world. There is no consensus among the experts.<p>The truth is, engineers might have more experience in how to operate during a crisis like this. How to quickly asses risks in a world of incomplete and sometimes contradictory information.<p>I wish the real experts were more convincing in their abilities. But in the west this is the first time they deal with this kind of situation while it not being a hypothetical. They is their first real experience with it as well.
