I've been trying to do that, and spent a great deal of time Monday trying to engage such conversation, always very carefully checking my own sources and also ones cited at me. I didn't get nearly as much engagement as speculation (possible cures) and dangerous misinformation. And yesterday most of the Covid threads here were terrible, full of racism, conspiracies, and so on. Another programmer-based forum I frequent has banned Covid topics altogether. I don't have good solutions here, other than to try to be very careful in choosing only high quality information sources. Getting the word out will be a key part of the response, and I see serious problems in that.
