    Amy Harmon - yes, she should know better. It's worth pointing out the Trevor isn't an epidemiologist - same for Nate,myself, and many others - the only one who's an epidemiologist in that article is Marc. One thing is to report basedon tweets (which is wrong), another is doing it when the person isn't a subject-matter expert - I find that really problematic, especially for something this important. Science by Twitter is not the way to deal with these types ofquestions...
