One *other* possibility is a journalist using a stock photo, or a photo from some early ICU, as the doctors now are too fried to allow random presstitutes in.

Since there is no source, I'm calling the tweet FAKE Fake News.

This is going off personal experience working as a reporter for a small newspaper, a sports reporter, and looking at news sites. A significant number of stories use stock photos, releases from outside agencies, and the person making the report never visits the scene. If you see a story about a car wreck, and the photo is a cop car with the lights on, it's probably a stock photo and the story was written off a police press report.

There's a good possibility that a lot of these pandemic stories are written from press releases and using stock ER photos.
