“Covid-19 will take its place among the 30 or so respiratory viral diseases with which humans have historically co-existed.”
It’s the lack of acknowledgement that it could turn out any other way...
Or the consequences that are hidden behind the statements.

For me, good science requires that we cultivate doubt and acknowledge uncertainty.

This does not seem like good science to me.
