I am not sure it is a good idea to post unverified information without substantiation other than “a friend told me.”
Exactly correct.
I did specify that this is a vanity. I’m not posting as news. I thought that was OK.
Good point, but these days such sources are probably more accurate and truthful than anything you hear from government "spokespersons".
This is legit, I saw it from a good news source last night. Prob just another false alarm.
You are right about rumors though.
I would agree the post needs more information, such as, where the patient is currently, does the hospital have a room that can treat the patient and protect the staff, etc.
However, she did qualify it with ‘a friend working at the hospital told me’, which is fine as far as it goes.
Needs more information and corroboration (send the tip to a local news station, for example, and let them check it out?)
