Teacher: Generate an explanation for the given claim using the provided supporting material from the paragraph. Please consider the following points while generating an output. 1) The claim will always have supporting proof in the paragraph, and the paragraph will have a clear point of view supporting the claim. 2) There can be instances where direct correlation to the claim is not available. Make use of the sentences in the paragraph to provide a corresponding output supporting the claim. 3) The explanation should be at least one and at most twelve sentences long.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
Paragraph: "Although the story didn't cite the cost of appendectomy emergency or urgent surgery and we wish it had, we nonetheless will give it a satisfactory score because it at least cited what the editorial writer wrote, ""A secondary benefit is the savings to the hospital generated by minimizing staff and anesthesiologist presence late in the evening and during the wee hours of the morning."" As with our harms score above, although the story didn't give absolute numbers, in this case we think it was sufficient for it to report that ""The scientists found no significant difference among the groups in the patients' condition 30 days after surgery or in the length of their operation or hospital stay."" Although the story didn't give absolute numbers, in this case we think it was sufficient for it to report that ""The scientists found no significant difference among the groups in the patients' condition 30 days after surgery or in the length of their operation or hospital stay."" Despite running less than 300 words, this story did an adequate job in explaining the quality of the evidence, including pointing out limitations. No disease-mongering here. The story meets the bare minimum requirement for this criterion in that it at least cited what an editorial stated. The focus of the story was on a study comparing emergency appendectomy with surgery done up to 12 hours later or beyond. This is the whole focus of the story and one we applaud when it begins: ""Appendectomy is the most common emergency surgery in the world, but it doesn't have to be."" There were no claims made about the novelty of this research, and we may have wished for a bit more context on this. Nonetheless, the potential for guiding future care decisions was made clear. Not applicable. Given that the story only pulled excerpts from the journal article and the accompanying editorial, and didn't include any fresh quotes from interviews, we can't be sure of the extent to which it may have been influenced by a news release.". Claim: Some appendicitis cases may not require 'emergency' surgery
Solution: We really don't understand why only a handful of mainstream news organizations reported this story. (At least in what we found.) The most common emergency surgery in the world. Rushing to emergency surgery may not carry any benefit. Waiting a few hours may be safer and less expensive. Why is that not a story? We applaud USA Today for finding time and space and clearly it didn't need to free up much space to do a good job telling the story. The story explains that as many as 300,0 appendectomies are done each year in the US. That figure alone explains why this is an important study to report.
Reason: The output is an analysis of the claim while considering the paragraph as a reference. The output highlights the key features presented in the paragraph and explains the claim accordingly.

Now, solve this instance: Paragraph: On March 21 2020, Facebook and Twitter users began sharing purportedly official guidelines for COVID-19 and sex, attributed to the New York City Health Department:the NYC department of health says that during the COVID-19 pandemic "you are your safest sex partner", so i'm just trying to spread the word pic.twitter.com/oUHIqRKlfY Tommy Siegel (@TommySiegel) March 23, 2020OMG I had a mouthful of ass while reading this NYC Health guide to Covid-safe Sex and of course, responsible New Yorker that I am, I IMMEDIATELY spat it out. Is there a five second rule? #oneonethousandtwoonethousand pic.twitter.com/QpDmt4hJU0 BD WONG (@wongbd) March 23, 2020Highlights of NYC's government official guide to having safe sex during these times include:-"wash your hands (and any sex toys)"-Rimming (mouth on anus) might spread COVID-19."-"You are your safest sex partner." pic.twitter.com/M0VzSVP75I chris (@ichrisherrero) March 22, 2020The NYC Health Department's guide to sex during the COVID-19 outbreak is a gem. https://t.co/pX3nrHzrjv Sasha Perigo (@sashaperigo) March 21, 2020Facebook's iterations of the share bore the NYC Health logo, but typically linked to a Google Docs PDF with no clear attribution. That document was unassumingly titled "covid-sex-guidance.pdf," and it began by urging all New York City residents to stay home in an effort to reduce the spread of highly infectious coronavirus strain COVID-19.Immediately thereafter, it addressed whether it was safe to have sex at all while coronavirus was spreading:Sex and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)All New Yorkers should stay home and minimize contact with others to reduce the spread of COVID-19.But can you have sex? Here are some tips for how to enjoy sex and to avoid spreading COVID-19.1. Know how COVID-19 spreads. You can get COVID-19 from a person who has it. o The virus can spread to people who are within about 6 feet of a person with COVID-19 when that person coughs or sneezes. o The virus can spread through direct contact with their saliva or mucus. We still have a lot to learn about COVID-19 and sex. o COVID-19 has been found in feces of people who are infected with the virus. o COVID-19 has not yet been found in semen or vaginal fluid. o We know that other coronaviruses do not efficiently transmit through sex.Amorous New York City residents were first advised to understand how coronavirus COVID-19 spreads, and detailed how as of March 2020 still in the first weeks of a global pandemic comparatively little is still known about about SARS-nCoV-2. In the document's second point, it went on to provide perhaps the most discussed of all the advice on the page (emphasis ours):2. Have sex with people close to you. You are your safest sex partner. Masturbation will not spread COVID-19, especially if youwash your hands (and any sex toys) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds beforeand after sex. The next safest partner is someone you live with. Having close contact including sex with only a small circle of people helps prevent spreading COVID-19. You should avoid close contact including sex with anyone outside your household. If you do have sex with others, have as few partners as possible and avoid group sex. If you usually meet your sex partners online or make a living by having sex, consider taking a break from in-person dates. Video dates, sexting or chat rooms may be options for you.City residents were, to put it bluntly, advised to stay home and masturbate. However, if that wasn't sufficiently stimulating, household members were deemed the safest option with whom to have sex.Group sex was, perhaps predictably, not recommended during the pandemic.While Facebook shares linked to a Google Docs page, tweets about the NYC guidelines for safe sex and COVID-19 tended to be in screenshot form. It was uncommon to see anything with a direct link back to an official, verified NYC.gov account. We checked the official NYC Department of Health Facebook page and did not see the COVID-19 sex guidelines shared there.Twitter was another story, though:Soooo Since we're all staying home, you might be wondering what to do with all that extra time. We got you, NYC. 😘Read our guide on how to enjoy sex and avoid spreading #COVID19: https://t.co/fjjkfGgf3C nycHealthy STAY HOME NYC (@nycHealthy) March 22, 2020In addition to a link to a NYC.gov page, the tweet read:Soooo Since we're all staying home, you might be wondering what to do with all that extra time. We got you, NYC. 😘Read our guide on how to enjoy sex and avoid spreading #COVID19: https://on.nyc.gov/3agKh8ULinked was the same circulating document [PDF], with "covid-sex-guidance.pdf" and "Sex and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)" as titles. The officially issued guidance matched the aforementioned screengrabs and documents, right down to "you are your safest sex partner" and "masturbation will not spread COVID-19." The circulating document is authentic despite the fact it s spreading primarily via screenshots or an unattributed Google Docs page. Claim: New York City Health (NYC Health) issued official guidelines for sex during a global coronavirus pandemic.

Did the NYC Department of Health Issue 'COVID-19 Sex' Guidelines?
