Covid news sources?

[magnus]

Hi all

First, thank you to the powers that be and the folks who have made this covid board so useful.  Definitely lots of information and insight gleaned here first before it became common knowledge.

While we can't fully replace the insight, I was hoping to at least mitigate the informational aspect by asking you all for what your best sources of covid information are.  Do you have news sources, twitter feeds, journals, other forums, that you go to for up to date or insightful info?

I believe 2006alum published his list (or a feed) early on in this board's life but I am search inept.

I assume the board closing just means it'll be locked, but that we'll still be able to read it?  If so, post your useful links below.

Thanks in advance. =)
