CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.

🦠 One week after the #DiamondPrincess was quarantined and 60 more are diagnosed with #coronavirus. The current total is 130. My question: are ANY of them employees that might be handling the food, dishes or delivery to the cabins⁉️ @howroute reuters.com/article/us-chi…
🦠Transmission routes of #coronavirus include direct, contact AND aerosol transmission which refers to the mixing of the virus with droplets in the air to form airborne aerosols, which causes infection after inhalation via mouth, nose and eyes🦠 chinadaily.com.cn/a/202002/08/WS…
