Have you looked at other resources that do something similar to what you’re asking? For example, what are the shortcomings of using Up to Date for this purpose?
While I haven’t evaluated their covid stuff, I agree with your assessment for other conditions where I’ve done some digging.
I meant to elicit some comments about whether the value of new-thing-digging-in would be sufficiently greater than what we could get out of making more optimal use of existing resources.
I’m going to use allergic rhinitis as an example below but I could probably have called it “disease X”.
There’s the set of things (e. G. Buy Kleenex, take those red round things, etc.) that the average person knows to do from surrounding people, culture, advertising, instinct, and the contents of store shelves. Let’s call this the low info & ultra conservative corner.
Then there’s the higher info and less conservative ground occupied by something like the MASK ARIA guidelines that implies that anyone who puts forth a real effort should be in pretty good shape after no more than a week with occasional exceptions. And to use EY’s idea here, the goal should be to get those Exceptions into the hands of Exception Handlers as quickly as possible.
Up to date is higher info than average-person-on-street but more conservative and certainly less efficacious than a pad of post it notes + MASK ARIA.
I’m not sure what the MASK-ARIA equivalent for long covid is but I imagine that if it exists, it might be good enough.

Up to Date is very conventional, conservative medicine, right? the track record of that kind of medicine on covid has been quite bad.

Thanks! I have not, but defer to Elizabeth’s comment below on this.
