Do you have an open mind? Do you believe in SCIENCE?

We are going to discuss Epidemiology 101: When can we say we know we have a NEW, INFECTIOUS DISEASE?

Before we can say we have a new disease, we must embark on a well-defined scientific process. With HIV/AIDS, this process took 2 years.

The Pathology is the study of the symptoms of the disease, and the effects on the body.

Etiology is the study of the CAUSE of the disease. Not all disease is infectious (transmissible, caused by a pathogen).

Lastly is Morphology: which is the study of the physical characteristics of the pathogen.

You can use the Wayback Machine to verify that the CDC updated the unnamed "COVID Syndrome" (our term) Definition at least 7 times between 3/14/2020 and 5/26/2020. If we consider all the NEW symptoms being added, like MIS-C, Hiccups, Depression, and my favorite, "COVID TOE", we realize this definition is STILL IN FLUX!

Prior to 5/26/2020 we can definitely say that the syndrome was neither stable, nor well-defined.

A stable and well defined syndrome IS A PREREQUISITE before starting your epidemiological method!!!

Q: How can we have the answer 3 months before we could ask the question?
