  I definitely think microbes can pose a serious threat to the human race. Even more so considering all the false information that can easily be spread across social media. I think scientists need to engage with the community and answer questions without any judgement. It will take a long time to build/rebuild trust with some people but behaving appropriately, and following guidance and advice is key. But I think it all starts with effective communication from scientists.
