Think we need a “True or Fake” thread for all the misinformation going around

    I’ve cut my social media time down by about 90% since this started but I’m still seeing so much nonsense. Maybe this thread can seperate the real from the sh*te with supporting links?

    I’ll start

    This one just popped up;

    “ From an Italian Doctor working in an ICU.

    Dr Francesca Cortellaro: " Do you know what is most upsetting? Watching patients die alone, listening to them begging you to call their families, children and grandkids. Covid-19 patients walk in alone, no relatives allowed in and when they're about to die they can tell. They're shiny, they don't go into narcolepsy (unconciousness). It's like they're drowning, but with plenty of time to figure it out.

    Last one was tonight.

    She was a granny, wanted to see her granddaughter. I pulled out my phone and called her on video. They said goodbye. Shortly after she died. I have a long list of video calls by now. I call it a farewell list. I hope they give us mini iPads, it would take three or four, not to let them die alone ".



    fake or real?

    Please see the stickied thread - "Fact Check Articles"

    We also have a "Resources" thread stickied

    There are plenty of places to discuss these issues, or check whether info is coming from a reliable source. We do not need another thread on this
