[edited] oh dear heavens. concerning.
(1) who is this account (@b00msl4ng) and why is it a source of a thread of coronavirus info in the feed of the US President????????
(2) this 12:30 presser should have Dr. Fauci at it or I would recommend time-delaying it and reporting it.

I wanted to be clear so edited the above. Not suggesting we go entirely dark but spontaneous info from non-authoritative or even trusted sources is frightening and dangerous in this moment.
the only people who seem to be sources in or agreeing with this thread are entrepreneurs and people from totally unrelated industries some with followers < 100. I am utterly shocked.
WTF
SMDH
Same guy the President has boosted for medical advice to 75 million people globally.
same guy.
On an important but related note to information integrity, why on earth would Google be scraping and relying on a “draft” Wikipedia page that hasn’t even been approved/added to Wikipedia??? @dannysullivan @richardgingras cc @raju @noUpside
aargh, this keeps getting worse by the minute. just documenting it as I can't begin to explain the danger in promoting an account like this as a source of info on the pandemic. Same guy ( ht ) more on him here: theguardian.com/us-news/2017/j…
Putting a wrap on this, here is a related report from @business. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Timely to the above, Washington Post media columnist @Sulliview writes today that White House press conferences should no longer be rebroadcast live by the media. This of course would leave social media and tech platforms streaming them. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/medi…
