Following up on yesterday's post, Stanford prof John Ioannidis has written a paper on the harms of exaggerated information related to COVID-19 and of countermeasures grounded in such information. He includes recommendations for improving evidence-based decision-making related to the pandemic.

It has been accepted for publication in European Journal of Clinical Information. The peer review process was almost certainly expedited in this case to facilitate timely release of a meaningful contribution to the extant problem.
