Ask HN: Where are the 'good' conversations happening about Covid-19?
Where online are there productive & intelligent conversations happening about 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)?
I have found myself digging through HN comments for some of the smarter commentary on the topic. Is this my best bet right now?
I'm having a hard time talking in-depth among my network of friends/family/colleagues since there are so many potentially polarizing topics, misinformation. I'm looking for places where people are talking about fact/knowledge/data-driven opinions and conclusions on all of this...
There's obviously so many questions, and unknowns, but can we collect links to places where good conversations about 'all of this' are happening so we can all dive in and learn and start forming some evidence-based opinions?

- nisa 6y agoI'm looking daily at https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/ https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/ - it's well moderated and current papers and preprints are discussed. There are also often detailled comments explaining why a certain paper might be wrong or interesting. My take-away from reading there for a while is that it's complicated and reading publications and pre-prints is is an art that should not be taken lightly.

- Tainnor 6y agoMy experience over the last couple of days is: not here on HN. The amount of misinformation and/or blatant disregard for human lives I've seen on this site is staggering. Maybe it comes from most people here not being at-risk, but I am still very disappointed.
