Welcome Professor Zerina to this platform. Indeed it’s a major challenge to non-English speaking individuals to get the most up to date information, to verify that it is not junk and full of propaganda and misinformation and of course having it in the right format. As has been said, by many, the challenge and spread of COVID is mainly due to misinformation or lack of it. One can confirm that a little bit of information that is true, honest, to the point and evidence-based is definitely much better than a lot of misinformation. I am sure your work and experience will allow a lot of learning for all of us. Take care. Najeeb Al-Shorbaji
