During a coronavirus press conference held at the Indiana State Capital building, Indiana Governor Holcomb asked State Police Superintendent Doug Carter to take the microphone. He quoted a Facebook social media post that erroneously claimed that Indiana hospitals would not have respirators for any patient over the age of sixty. Carter said he was “disgusted” by this posting that would cause fear and panic.
Superintendent Carter stated that you need to make sure that your sources of information about the COVID-19 pandemic can be trusted. Don’t rely on, pass on or talk about information that is incorrect. How do you determine what is real and what is not true? That, my friends, is the sixty four dollar question. Where do you get your coronavirus pandemic information? How many different sources do you rely on?

Wow, I just commented on my blog about FB. Anneli saw a lot of hateful politics still going on on that platform, shame on theme! I avoid FB, period. Nasty, it should have died years ago…. Sorry, just being honest.

Our ISP Super sure was vocal with his appropriate ass chewing of whoever put that post up, and I guess indirectly of the platform. FB has a lot of issues…

The county health department and press releases from other government agencies. I prefer to read the original sources myself. Also local print and digital news organizations. I still believe in our free press, but take the opinion pieces with a grain of salt. Fact-check.org and snopes.com are also good if you run across a report that sounds suspect.

Thanks for your input. Original sources are best, and FB is not known as an original source in most peoples’ eyes.
