#COVIDContext

​With the spread of #COVIDー19, so many of us have been thrown into worlds unfamiliar to us - epidemiology, emergency medicine, public health - with no time to catch up.

During this time, we'll be sharing a series of tweets, #COVIDContext, to highlight resources that might be useful online at https://twitter.com/elq_resource. 

Some of these will be sourced from our own collection, some will be from other sources, but the hope is that each of these will help you better understand what’s happening in this rapidly changing information landscape.

Follow us @elq_resource, or at #COVIDContext daily.
