Friends! Team @WIRED @WIREDScience have been working super hard to bring you clear, accurate, trustworthy reporting about #COVID2019--for free! (There's no paywall for coronavirus public health stories.) If you're looking for some solid science info, may I suggest ... a thread 
#1 Let's start with the big ones. Here's the champion, @MeganMolteni on everything you need to know about vaccines: https://www.wired.com/story/everything-you-need-to-know-about-coronavirus-vaccines/
#2 And with the one-two punch, here's @MeganMolteni and @jetjocko with everything you need to know about coronavirus testing: https://www.wired.com/story/everything-you-need-to-know-about-coronavirus-testing/
#3 Let's follow that up with @marynmck setting the record straight about that online ibuprofen flap: https://www.wired.com/story/the-ibuprofen-debate-reveals-the-danger-of-covid-19-rumors/
#4 Trying to figure out what the deal is with chloroquine? @jetjocko has the story: https://www.wired.com/story/an-old-malaria-drug-may-fight-covid-19-and-silicon-valleys-into-it/
#5 You might have been hearing a lot about using the blood serum of #COVID2019 survivors to help people who are sick. Here's our first big story on it: https://www.wired.com/story/an-old-source-for-potential-new-covid-19-drugs-blood-serum/
#6 And here's the most recent update on blood serum, as trials of plasma from recovered patients begin: https://www.wired.com/story/trials-of-plasma-from-recovered-covid-19-patients-have-begun/
#7 How can we know how many people have been infected, or how many have recovered? @GregoryJBarber has an excellent story on the push for mass blood tests: https://www.wired.com/story/researchers-push-for-mass-blood-tests-as-a-covid-19-strategy/
#8 And I also recommend this one by @GregoryJBarber on how medical ethicists are dealing with the prospect of figuring out who gets life-saving equipment: https://www.wired.com/story/in-crowded-hospitals-who-will-get-life-saving-equipment/
#9 Also, a @GregoryJBarber story for the brave: The clues to who has #COVID2019, and where, may lie in ... our sewage: https://www.wired.com/story/one-way-to-potentially-track-covid-19-sewage-surveillance/
#10 You may have heard early reporting that kids don't (or can't) get #COVID2019 -- that's not true, though they may have milder symptoms. @MeganMolteni spells it out, with more info about which kids are most at risk: https://www.wired.com/story/most-kids-only-get-mildly-sick-from-covid-19-but-not-all/
#11 Some of my favorite stories to edit have looked into the psychological effects of the pandemic. This is a great one by @mrMattSimon on the science of why this all feels so surreal: https://www.wired.com/story/why-life-during-a-pandemic-feels-so-surreal/
#12 And I love this one by @atsaraharrison on why stress baking and cleaning makes you feel better. (There's actually a scientific reason, and it has a lot to do with mindfulness.) https://www.wired.com/story/why-stress-baking-and-cleaning-make-you-less-anxious/
#13 This one, by the reporting/editing team of @EmmaGreyEllis and @WaterSlicer shows the profound #COVID2019 health risks to unsheltered people: https://www.wired.com/story/coronavirus-covid-19-homeless/
#14 And this is @EmmaGreyEllis and @WaterSlicer with an absolute heartbreaker about all the people who CAN'T avoid the hospital right now: https://www.wired.com/story/coronavirus-covid-19-hospital-visits/
#15 To be honest, the freakiest one I have edited yet is @DMOberhaus on the electric supply. (Which is fine ... for now.) https://www.wired.com/story/americas-electricity-is-safe-from-the-coronavirus-for-now/
#16 And if you like that one, you will like the one on how you refuel a nuclear power plant during a pandemic. https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-refuel-a-nuclear-power-plant-during-a-pandemic/
#17 Let me wind up with a few stories that might help us prepare for what's coming next. First, @MeganMolteni and @jetjocko explain what the heck an epidemiological model is and how to understand predictions: https://www.wired.com/story/the-mathematics-of-predicting-the-course-of-the-coronavirus/
#18 And here's @jetjocko on why the Asian countries that did such a good job of containing the virus now have to do it again: https://www.wired.com/story/the-asian-countries-that-beat-covid-19-have-to-do-it-again/
#19 This story by @sophurky really helped me understand why it's important for us to "see" what this virus is like, so we can find its Achilles heel: https://www.wired.com/story/to-beat-covid-19-scientists-try-to-see-the-invisible-enemy/
#20 This one by @MeganMolteni asks whether consumer genomics companies like 23andMe might find clues to why some people get sicker than others by mining their customer database: https://www.wired.com/story/why-does-covid-19-make-some-people-so-sick-ask-their-dna/
#21 And here's @ScolesSarah on how satellite imagery is revealing data about the pandemic from above: https://www.wired.com/story/satellite-data-reveals-the-pandemics-effects-from-above/
#22 And finally, some real talk about what cloth face masks can and cannot protect you from, and how-to instrux straight from the CDC by @medeajulianna and @JeffreyVC https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-make-a-cloth-face-mask/
