Aggregation and a Call for Action

When I write about, especially, pregnancy and kids and COVID people often email to ask related questions, some of which are in previous newsletters. So I wanted to be sure you know where to go if you want to see everything aggregated.

The answer is: COVID-Explained.

That website has an aggregation of what I’ve written on pregnancy and kids in COVID-19 (including more recent updates like the Nature article this week). The site has shorter, more digestible versions my posts on topics like child care and grandparents.

And we also cover COVID-19 more generally (How does the virus work? What do we know about treatment? Is it protective to have hair?). And we talk about non-kid scenarios, like the pool, gyms and restaurants.

It’s continually updated by a team which includes a lot of real science people in addition to me. So check it out, bookmark and share!
