You will be shown a claim about public health, and the abstract of a biomedical research paper. Each sentence from the abstract will be on a separate line. Your task is to return a JSON object with two fields:

- "verdict": The fact-checking verdict. If the information in the abstract supports the claim, write "SUPPORT". If the abstract contradicts the claim, write "CONTRADICT". If the abstract does not provide enough information to arrive at a verdict, write "NEI" (for "not enough information").
- "evidence": An array of sentences providing evidence for the verdict. Please copy all relevant sentences verbatim from the abstract. If the verdict was "NEI", then return an empty array.

For instance, if the model were given the claim "wearing masks can prevent the spread of COVID", the output might be
{
  "verdict": "SUPPORT",
  "evidence": ["Our findings indicate that mass mask-wearing reduces the transmission rate for COVID-19."]
}

Claim: ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) is a Common Cause of Death in Critically Ill Coronavirus Patients

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused much morbidity and mortality to patients but also health care providers.
We tabulated the cases of physician deaths from COVID-19 associated with front-line work in hopes of mitigating future events.
METHOD: On April 5, 2020, Google internet search was performed using the keywords doctor, physician, death, COVID, COVID-19, and coronavirus in English and Farsi, and in Chinese using the Baidu search engine.
RESULTS: We found 198 physician deaths from COVID-19, but complete details were missing for 49 individuals.
The average age of the physicians that died was 63.4 years (range 28 to 90 years) and the median age was 66 years of age.
Ninety percent of the deceased physicians were male (175/194).
General practitioners and emergency room doctors (78/192), respirologists (5/192), internal medicine specialists (11/192) and anesthesiologists (6/192) comprised 52% of those dying.
Two percent of the deceased were epidemiologists (4/192), 2% were infectious disease specialists (4/192), 5% were dentists (9/192), 4% were ENT (8/192), and 4% were ophthalmologists (7/192).
The countries with the most reported physician deaths were Italy (79/198), Iran (43/198), China (16/198), Philippines (14/198), United States (9/192) and Indonesia (7/192).
CONCLUSION: Physicians from all specialties may die from COVID, and these deaths will likely increase as the pandemic progresses.
Lack of personal protective equipment was cited as a common cause of death.
Consideration should be made to exclude older physicians from front-line work.
{"verdict": "CONTRADICT", "evidence": ["Lack of personal protective equipment was cited as a common cause of death."]}
