Please exercise care when reading any claims about COVID-19. There are many misleading and outright false claims being made, so some skepticism is warranted. It is probably better to NOT forward / retweet / repost anything you receive from others, since it may be contributing to the spread of misinformation. For example there is information supposedly from Stanford that is false. It looks good and is almost plausible, but a quick search shows it to be a fraud (not from Stanford and misleading at best). Instead direct your family and friends to the websites above or other reputable health sites (e.g. Johns Hopkins or CDC).
Stay safe.
