Where are you getting your information about COVID-19?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37371points) February 28th, 2020

COVID-19 is the name given to the novel coronavirus which originated in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China.

Here is some background and basic information about the disease from the CDC.

Here is a good source of information from the CDC in Atlanta.

Here is what the WHO is saying.

There were news reports yesterday that the White House is censoring what the doctors and scientists at the CDC are saying. I therefore will be taking most of my information from the WHO. However, at work, I post on a government social media page for Hawaii’s State Dept. of Health. We post our own information as well as that put out by the CDC.

Basically, the disease is not yet a reason for mass concern in the US. Right now, the bigger threat to public health is the flu.

What can you do to protect yourself? All the experts are saying to wash your hands after venturing out in public.

Where are you getting information? What information do you have from reputable sources to share with us?
