To be sure, none of us are experts in epidemiology and virology of course, but with discussion and surfacing articles, we can at least discuss fairly intelligently what is happening with this pandemic. It's useful (even if I occasionally make a rather poor mathematical error).
If we post a thought (or hypothesis), if there is a flaw in our thinking, others can point it out, and perhaps refine the thought, or dismiss it all together.
If someone doesn't like this process, they are of course free to ignore it and contribute nothing.
