Please note: the below links and feeds absolutely do not represent endorsements, but a sampling of articles and papers that have crossed our desk. In many cases (especially where we have no special expertise), we have no view. In some cases, we actively disagree with the conclusions or quality of one of these sources. In others we find useful information.
We highlight in bold the sources which have proved more useful to us in staying up-to-date on the Covid-19 pandemic more recently.
The articles below are focused more exclusively on the disease, treatment and statistics, and generally exclude discussion of economic impacts.
