I just wanna encourage you to not create COVID threads for the sake of creating COVID threads. I contributed to some of those threads, but in retrospect I think my contributions were kind of a waste of time, because there’s just been so much COVID discussion on LW and it’s not organized very well. (One example: this overview suggested high-dose vitamin D and exercise could be good, I had posted links from sources I think are reasonably credible saying both of those could be harmful. I’m not certain they’re harmful but given that the LW userbase skews young, think it’s better to avoid high variance treatments since the default outcome for us is good.)
This is one of my big complaints about LW in general but for whatever reason it’s been seeming especially acute lately.
