I agree there seems to be a lot of fear mongering, justified or otherwise. Like you, I am on a bit of a pendulum in all this.Have you seen this image in the news of the coffins? This was shown as Bergamo, Italy when it was from a refugee ship that sunk in sunk. 2013.
Edit: Oh bonus, you get the evil Irishwoman showing the absence of testing
They footage from the Italian hospital was also used in a story about a hospital in New York, saying it was that hospital when it wasn't.
That coffin pic however seems to have been posted by someone on social media and treated as though it is being distributed by "reputable" media sources. I haven't done much of a search on this one I might add.
The same way the picture of the young boy/girl from Portugal/UK/Belgium.
If these images were accompanying the news reports there would be more of a point.
For now though, it could just as easily be people trying to discredit media outlets that are producing these reports so they can quickly write them off as being false.
Are there any accredited outlets using either the coffin pic, or the child mentioned?
