EDITORIAL COMMENT:  

https://www.asam.org/Quality-Science/covid-19-coronavirus

The registrants for this weekly e- publication number about 60,000. By contrast, the membership of ASAM is closer to 6000.  So it is not a certainty, in fact it is unlikely that all receiving the Weekly today are aware of the resources hosted at the ASAM website. The one of which I wish to make readers aware today was set up specifically to address unique requirements of practice flowing from the combination of substance use disorders and novel coronavirus infections. In April, an ASAM task force was set up, chaired by Doctors Yngvild Olsen and Kelly Clark.  The website that was constructed is conveniently arrayed, comprehensive, and exceptionally practical:   https://www.asam.org/Quality-Science/covid-19-coronavirus  Each of the topics set out along the far right column of the web page is explored with concision and accuracy. 

The Task Force members, reviewers, and staff members, who together materially contributed the documents and swiftly translated them into a web-based site, are entered here - to acknowledge the extraordinary effort provided, in an era without leisure:
