“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.” Oscar Wilde seems to have predicted these confusing times of covid-19. Scientists are searching for the means to forge the way ahead through collaborative and verified research. They admit to the gaps in their knowledge.
Yet this doesn’t appear to prevent politicians, industrialists and the media from filling in these gaps with abridged interpretations, and making misleading or dangerous decisions aimed at solving financial and social problems. As a consequence, we blunder into the unknown and take a chance.
