So I watched the whole thing

Confirms what I thought about experts. Educated idiots.

First, they are more than competent as to tell us WHAT is going on. Far less so in how to deal with this. Case in point is Paul in the lower right-hand screen. He won't go out to eat in a restaurant? Really? Even though he's vaccinated and boostered? Every bit of data shows us he is literally in almost zero danger of anything, yet he acts like his vaccine and booster won't work. (As I said before, this is the problem I have with our sports leagues.)

And the lady in the lower left - she's vaccinated and boostered, her 97-year-old grandma just got fully vaccinated...and yet she won't see grandma unless she's tested negative and they're both wearing masks? Ridiculous. My mom is 95, only has natural immunity and no one in my family, including two medical professionals, thinks it's necessary to be tested and wear masks. As my mom says, "I'm 95."

One of the most honest comments came when one (forgot which) said they are probably more cautious - and maybe too much so - because this is their profession and they focus too much on the bad outcomes. No nuance about age and how people younger than 50 should have almost no worries about this. No nuance about how vaccinated people should have no worries. Instead, we get the predictable fear that all, regardless of age or vaccination status, need to continue to mitigate and worry. Just no ability to use logic or reason, showing they're just flawed emotional humans like anyone else.

Informative as to what's actually happening, yes. Not so much as how to deal with this.
