Where are you getting news, information, etc?

Trying to be constructive and pool resources, rather than argue politics on this one.

Not the BBC or social media(however I use that to study public perception.

I use scientific papers and studies and a lot of common sense

I skim the BBC headlines but don't read in depth. I'm finding academic sources where possible, at least those distilled for lay people. The LSHTM podcast is excellent, as is This Week in Virology.

BBC but filter out all the "correspondents" who seem to be London biased, and not have a clue what they are saying.

Gov.uk website.

John's Hopkins university Covid 19 information tables.

I just watch the Downing Street Updates. I have no interest in what other so called “experts” think on the matter as bandied about on the news etc. The majority just spread panic and misinformation and give their opinion on how they feel the crisis should be handled whilst giving back handed digs at those trying to sort this out. And i have very little patience with those MP’s who use this as a political point scoring opportunity.

A few sources, Radio 4 today, The BBC, Washington Post, NY Times and RTE. I'm loosing faith with the Guardian, they are still sensationalising headlines. Podcasts include The daily, Coronacast , coronavirus newscast and coronavirus: fact vs fiction. I don't use twitter but the John Hopkins account is worth reading.

Gov.uk or NHS. Work for the NHS so they're sharing lots of useful info to staff
