2020-03-18Cellar Door Wine Bar
This image is one that has been shared by a bar in the Chicago suburbs, showing thanks to people for supporting small business. I find it interesting because the business does not know that the reader of this sign has in fact supported small, local businesses. Instead, it reads like when your mom says “thanks for unloading the dishwasher” as a way of asking you to unload the dishwasher. #DePaulHST391 -

2020-03-18Health, Healing, and the Coronavirus
The “Found Conscious” Facebook page shared a video in which Thomas Cowan, MD describes the coronavirus pandemic in terms of his healing philosophy, claiming its related to 5G technology and metals. Within a week, Facebook reported more than 300,000 shares of this particular video. In the wake of ongoing concerns about “fake news,” social media platforms, including Facebook, have taken moves to censor expression. In this case, Facebook describes the presentation with a notice that it contains “False Information,” as checked by independent fact checkers. (See, for instance, the report of the independent experts: https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/viral-claim-falsely-asserts-that-covid-19-is-due-to-5g-technology-rollout-not-a-virus/?fbclid=IwAR0qoEAF9-cy2H2Y42gw6sQfiTCw_-CfPKWjpO2kzMUif5Z4vN05kD6qWCI.)
