Reliable online sources on the new coronavirus and COVID-19

While no one source of information is perfect, some are undeniably better than others! It’s best to look for sites that:

• rely on experts who use well-accepted scientific analyses and publish their results in reputable medical journals
• have a mission to inform and protect the public, such as the CDC, WHO, and Johns Hopkins University (JHU), which recently added a myth busters page to its information on the virus
• are not promoting or selling a product related to the information provided.

Other good online sources of information on the virus include:

• Medline Plus, from the US National Library of Medicine
• the UK’s National Health Service
• the US Food and Drug Administration
• major news outlets with deep expertise in health reporting, such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe’s STAT News.

While gathering information online may be your easiest initial option, isolate yourself and contact your doctor if you have symptoms of an infection, such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath. (If you don’t have a doctor, call the nearest clinic for advice.) If necessary, a doctor may recommend that you see a specialist at an academic medical center (such as a hospital affiliated with a major medical school) who is likely to have the most recent information about a previously unknown infectious illness like this one.

Can you imagine what our situation would have been today if not for the gift of God’s Son – Jesus Christ? Our response then must be to love and live for Christ alone as we are commanded in 2 Corth. 5:14-15.

ECWA Theme for 2020 is: Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit. Zech. 4:6. May we be filled and led by the Holy Spirit in every aspect of our lives as individuals, churches and Prayer Cells.

• July 16-19 ECWA 2020 International Conference in Atlanta, GA.

The 2020 National Conference has been rescheduled for July 2021. We ask for your patience as we work diligently to provide you with details of next year’s conference as soon as possible.
