    US government to begin accepting requests for free Covid-19 tests next week. [Free read link]
    New York Times (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 75% • 5 min read

    The administration’s website to process the requests, covidtests.gov, was up and running on Friday. But the delay in accepting orders and the lag in shipping mean that people are unlikely to receive the free tests until the end of January at the earliest. Each household will be limited to four free tests.
    ...
    Separately, people with private insurance should be able to start seeking reimbursement for tests they purchase themselves beginning on Saturday, less than a week after the administration announced the new rule. Insurers will be required to cover eight at-home tests per person per month. [At-home tests] are expensive: about $12 each, or $24 for a package of two.
    ...
    [The Administration specified] three reasons people should use at-home tests: They begin to have symptoms of Covid-19; they were exposed to someone who tested positive for the virus five or more days earlier; or they are planning to gather indoors with someone at risk of Covid-19, and want to assure themselves they are negative.

Should "The Joe Rogan Experience" be fact-checked for misinformation?

792 votes, 120 comments

Context: 270 doctors ask Spotify to stop Joe Rogan spreading Covid misinformation.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - My husband is very into this podcast and thinks everything in it is true. When presenting him with fact checked information he discredits any attempt to tell him there might be alternatives to Joe’s “truths”. I’m so over it. It’s be great if official, non-biased fact checking happened before things were published. Some sort of idealistic journalistic integrity.


No - Joe has many guests with various backgrounds and opinions. I don't always agree with everyone who speaks on the show and I don'...



Unsure - Depends on what you mean by "fact-checked". If you mean 'should other media sources ...
