Today I have started a new community initiative dedicated to provide clear and the most scientific information about the newly emerged pandemic of COVID-19.

This idea came to me after I heard from many people from different countries stories about misinformation, denial and manipulation of facts regarding the new coronavirus.

Some of these misconceptions came out lethal for those people who needed immediate and professional medical assistance, but didn’t reach out for it because of the questionable and misleading information from local communities and health workers.

At this point I decided that these people need help to find their way to the truth in the information flow.

I would like this project to be a community of people who want to help each other and spread fact-checked information to those who are lost.

First, my idea is to gather the information which will explain every detail down to the basics about the coronavirus, then I would like to move further into the details of medical assistance required to help people with COVID-19, gathered from professional doctors and respectable health authorities and scientists.

This will be presented on the website, which is coming soon, as well as in a PDF booklets available for printing and sharing.

Please note that this is a collection of thoroughly selected information and facts, though this is not an official guide.

This project can be used as a database with links and short texts to debunk most common misconceptions about COVID-19.

Let’s face the misinformation together!
