My son was just watching a sports reporter talking about the college football team he likes. He brought it to me when the guy said something to the effect of:
"I'm sorry if I'm a little off. The flu's really bad this year. I've had really heavy brain fog for a week now. No worry, though. A couple more Red Bulls and I'll be good."
It's just so cringey at this point, but, it also shows, again, that people really don't understand.
@BE
It happens over and over again. I can think of several things over my lifespan where we were told, “it’s fine. Don’t listen to those silly people telling you otherwise.” Only to find out years later that actually it was not fine and they knew it all along.
It seems we’ve been conditioned to accept it no matter how many times we should have learned our lesson.
@BE Governments, public health, and businesses do not want people to understand. Don't look up ;)
@BE It breaks my heart that people have not been given the tools to understand -- in terms of public health / science communication & leadership, obviously, but also going back long before the pandemic hit in terms of science literacy and media literacy.
@BE ...OR do not WANT to understand...
