Nutbag Trump Cultists Promote “Empty Hospitals” Lie

Peter Montgomery reports at Right Wing Watch:

DeAnna Lorraine, a right-wing activist who unsuccessfully ran in the Mar. 3 California primary to challenge House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is now pushing new conspiracy theories about COVID-19, promoting the hashtags #coronavirustruth and #filmyourhospital.

On Sunday, Lorraine filmed outside two hospitals in Los Angeles and found them quiet—which she took as a sign that the hospitals and mainstream media are engaged in a hoax, rather than a simpler alternative explanation, which is that hospitals aren’t allowing any visitors to try to protect their patients and prevent further spread of the virus.

“Let’s get #FilmYourHospital trending,” Lorraine tweeted Sunday afternoon. As of early Monday morning, that message had been retweeted more than 15,000 times and people were taking her up on the challenge, filming quiet hospital parking lots as if they were revealing yet another mainstream media plot.

The second tweet below was retweeted by this idiot.

First off – saying you work in a hospital means nothing. You have no further information. You could be a custodian.

Second off, the media is hyping the virus.

3rd – Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin cures it

Problem solved –

Apparently no one in the #FilmYourHospital tag knows what HIPAA is.

You’re not seeing a flood of photos and video from inside hospitals because that’s how people who work there get fired and/or sued, you complete melons.
