Like the alarmists climate experts, most of the so-called epidemiologists and disease specialists you mention are government employees and benefit from large government. Isn't it in their best interest to take the most conservative approach. They cannot be wrong. They can say they told us so if our leaders took a different approach. However, if they offered a metered approach then they may be second guessed.
I see this when our firm seeks outside experts to help us navigate issues with our firm. For example, if we have an HR issue or a tax issue, I can count on our HR counsel and or our accountant to provide us the most conservative advice, costing us the most money.
A healthy amount of skepticism isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially when it concerns our government.
