The Professors Who Call ‘Bull****’ on Covid-19 Misinformation
EDIT: (It has come to my attention that the auto-censorship algorithm here on DCT that inserts asterisks into words like Bull**** will break the link to the article I've cited. It's an excellent, worthwhile article that I think many of you will find interesting. In order to view it you will need to manually correct the link in the URL or go to WIRED Magazine's COVID-19 coverage home page and scroll down to find the article.)
Perhaps @DashCamMan has the ability to suspend the auto censoring in this individual thread? I mean, it's not as if we all don't hear, see, read and say words like **** all the time. What year is this anyway? George Carlin's famous monologue "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" happened 48 years ago. Times have changed. WIRED Magazine and certain other prominent publications seem to think so.
"The best way to improve your Covid-19 information diet right now is to—as with the SARS-nCoV-2 virus itself—minimize your exposure."
"The Covid-19 crisis has also unleashed a plague of beguiling but confusing or even misleading charts and maps."
"Once information has been amplified online, it can come to be seen as authoritative even by people who should know better."
