#COVID19 “Prendono un’idea del savio e per farla propria la tagliano a metà: dimezzata la trovano della propria statura” 3/4

#Covid_19 is not a pandemic: it's a syndemic characterised by biological and social interactions between conditions and states. A syndemic is not merely a comorbidity by @richardhorton1 @TheLancet thelancet.com/journals/lance… @drsilenzi @dr_enricorosso @LeadMedIt @raffaelebruno

The most important consequence of seeing COVID-19 as a syndemic is to underline its social origins. "“A syndemic approach provides a very different orientation to clinical medicine and public health..." (Singer et Al., 2017)

"... and invite a larger vision, one encompassing education, employment, housing, food, and environment. Viewing COVID-19 only as a pandemic excludes such a broader but necessary prospectus"

The Dunning-Kruger Effect Explains Why Society Is So Screwed-Up bit.ly/3eJVHnQ D-K Effect = tendency 4 people to misjudge their abilities. The peak (left) is referred to as Mount Stupid @drsilenzi @dr_enricorosso @Nemomnis @waltermazzucco @MRGualano @LeadMedIt

@drsilenzi

Those with the loudest voices have the most confidence but little competence. Many of the noisiest on Twitter, Facebook, etc. have only read an article or 2, saw another user’s video, or browsed comments. @drsilenzi @dr_enricorosso @Nemomnis @waltermazzucco @MRGualano @LeadMedIt

@drsilenzi

On the other hand, the more educated are quiet. Perhaps the biggest threat to society is the growing antiscience movement, which is fueled by the Dunning-Kruger effect @drsilenzi @dr_enricorosso @Nemomnis @waltermazzucco @MRGualano @LeadMedIt
