Tools/Resources in rough order of use.

Europe PubMedCentral

https://github.com/petermr/openVirus/wiki/getpapers-TUTORIAL-for-EUPMC-search

See also https://github.com/petermr/tigr2ess/tree/master/epmcSearches which show how to use EPMC. It's about plants, but you can use virus terms instead.

Try searching for:

• face mask
• viral epidemic
• antiviral drug This will show you how much information there is! It might feel a bit overwhelming so our task is to use software to help narrow the searches and explain the results.
