Sigh. I googled Feigl-Ding and I learned he is not a source to be trusted. I'm not going to share any more tweets by him. I had no idea how questionable he is...

Eric Feigl-Ding

Feigl-Ding has disclosed he is not sub-specialized in infectious diseases and claims to have never misrepresented himself as an infectious disease epidemiologist. [...] His tweets during the [covid] pandemic have also at times been criticized by other scientists as alarmist, misleading, or inaccurate.

Also - for what it's worth - he's a democratic politician. I wonder if his tweets are designed more for his "brand" than anything else.

    The thing is that they knew but they lied to everyone because the US has dogshit infrastructure so medical professionals didn’t have the proper PPE. And even when they admitted it and reversed their decision healthcare workers were still under equipped so basically they lied for no reason

      Yup, and so tbh if this does turn out to be pandemic 2.0 then I honestly feel this is gonna collapse a lot of hospital systems beyond repair.
