| Field of Science | Example Questions | Being Followed? |
| Medical / Epidemiology | How does covid spread? What is the real infection fatality rate? Do masks work? Do lockdowns work? | They are trying, but some would say they are only following the science they like. |
| Economics (the dismal science) | What are the costs and benefits of different approaches (e.g. of lockdowns), and how much should society be prepared to spend to avoid deaths from covid? | Unlikely |
| Political Science | How can I avoid blame and get re-elected? | Definitely |
There is much talk about “following the science”. I’ve always wondered which one people were talking about? And/or if they were capable of thinking about more than one field of science at a time?
