I work in haircare formulation, where data and safety go hand in hand, so I’m curious how epidemiologists handle similar challenges during public health emergencies. When you’re dealing with fast-moving outbreaks, how do you decide which data to prioritize without overlooking ethical concerns like privacy or equitable resource distribution? Are there frameworks that help guide these decisions, or does it often come down to case-by-case judgment? I’d love to hear from anyone with experience in this area.
