Thanks for pointing to this. I missed it yesterday. A little disappointed in Reuters for the handling of this. I wish news outlets were treating direct report

Thanks for pointing to this. I missed it yesterday. A little disappointed in Reuters for the handling of this. I wish news outlets were treating direct reporting of single-study-preprint (i.e., just credulously reporting the preprint's claims with no attempt to seek expert feedback) as roughly equivalent of publishing a single-anonymous-source article without bothering to fact check. There might be circumstances where it's merited--but they'll be extraordinary, and you should probably feel compelled to explain why you think it's important enough to break the norm.
