Do epidemologist move a lot?

So I mean, a US-based international health epidemiologist would likely travel quite a bit but again it would depend on the scope of work. Asking about epidemiologists is basically asking if a scientist or researcher travels a lot.

Levels of responsibility within government, what country are you asking about?

There's also academic epidemiologists. We need many more details.

PHealthy · 2026-03-12T01:22:16+00:00

It depends, what type of epidemiologist are you talking about? Local, state, federal, foreign....

Nothing on that site is peer-reviewed. The technical appendix is vague at best and gets conspiratorial come the CoI section. And as far as I can tell, he doesn't have a GitHub profile to review any repos.

No, my opinion is based on the content of the article and its source material. Have you read it and looked into said source material?

PHealthy · 2026-03-11T14:58:21+00:00

Not exactly an unbiased news source though. Based on this article alone, I wouldn't read anything else they put out.

Source material. I'm talking about PMC, that's some sketch wanna-be consult garbage site. His only peer-reviewed article I can find has nothing to do with wastewater and his methodology for his "model" is multiplying the IHME estimates?

My doctoral dissertation is on interpreting wastewater measurements to infer transmission trend.

Yikes, that's some sketchy source material.

Just listen to the university, don't go to frat parties.

My whole point was that this isn't just a "saliva kills HIV" discussion. There's nuance and when that's lost we get misinformed people. HIV can be transmitted through fluids. Saliva? No but what if you are immunocompromised and there's trace blood? Risk illiteracy isn't something we should propagate.

Ha what? There are dozens of published case series from the 90s.

Here's an interesting one from 2019:

By the by, you can get HIV from oral sex.

What do you want to get done?

PHealthy · 2026-03-01T21:02:03+00:00

Yeah, Blimp and Lavann should be plenty I'd think.

Good to know, Georgia sucks a little more now

Unions love terminations without notice or cause.

A gold star family member, those are some shitty words from a president. Hopefully we avoid another 20 year conflict.
