CORONAVIRUS/SOCIAL MEDIA/TWITTER: “Facebook on Tuesday removed a post from President Donald Trump that downplayed the dangers of the coronavirus pandemic, a day after he left a hospital while recovering from the virus.
Twitter restricted a similar tweet from Trump, leaving it online but placing it behind a note saying the tweet violated the company’s rules about spreading misleading information.
The posts from Trump compared Covid-19 to the flu, a comparison that medical experts have repeatedly said is unfounded and potentially dangerous because it may cause people not to take the coronavirus seriously.”
