  I also find many of the discussions helpful, however when the language used becomes particularly charged it is harder to pick out the helpful parts of the discussion and it discourages many people from contributing. Even if it is still helpful to have one such discussion, repeating the same arguments in multiple discussions per day is not helpful. At least to me, it makes sense to try to focus discussions on the most interesting articles every few days and not have running coronavirus discussions every day. If you are interested in the medical side of coronavirus I happened to find the emcrit.org site recently. I don't know much about them but you can read discussions from actual doctors about the medical side of treating coronavirus and some of the different treatment approaches they are using (you will need to know or learn some medical terminology). E.g. they discussed how "awake prone" seems to be helpful, although a doctor with a fairly bad case added that for him sitting up (even at night) seems to be the most helpful. https://emcrit.org/ https://emcrit.org/ The other place I have been checking regularly is Trevor Bedford's (of the Seattle Flu Project) twitter account where he has posted some interesting threads on genetic sequencing of the virus and what it reveals about how it is spreading. https://twitter.com/trvrb https://twitter.com/trvrb
