A member asked:

How are doctors staying up-to-date about covid-19? isn't there a lot of misinformation out there? how do they know what to trust?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

COVID-19: I, for example, get my information from the CDC (you don't have to be doctor to access their website) and from updates from my hospital and other medical websites that I trust. The treatment for Covid-19 can change almost on a daily basis based on what is being learned in ERs and ICUs all over the country. This information is being shared. Most important- do not listen to Trump. Listen to Dr.Fauci
