Twitter censored a tweet from President Trump as “misleading” for saying he’s “immune” to COVID-19 and can’t spread the virus.

“A total and complete sign off from White House Doctors yesterday. That means I can’t get it (immune), and can’t give it. Very nice to know!!!” Trump tweeted Sunday.

The tech giant censored the tweet later that day, labeling it “misleading.”

“This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules about spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19. However, Twitter has determined that it may be in the public’s interest for the Tweet to remain accessible,” reads a message that now appears over the president’s tweet.

Both Twitter and Facebook censored Trump last week for a post

‘We are learning to live with Covid’: Trump makes misleading comparison between coronavirus and the flu

In fact, the most deaths to have resulted from a flu season in the U.S. over the past decade is estimated to be roughly 61,000 in 2017-2018, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 200,000 Americans have died from Covid since the virus emerged early this year.

And while flu strains change from year to year, varying in severity, most people have some underlying immunity based on prior exposure. But the coronavirus was only identified late last year.

Trump himself appeared to tell The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward in a February interview that the coronavirus was five times more lethal than the flu, saying that Covid-19 is “deadly stuff” and “more deadly than … even your strenuous flus.”

Public health experts have warned that that the fall and winter months could significantly strain the nation’s health care system as it grapples with both a

The search engine giants, Dr. Google or Dr. Bing, are visited by most of our patients before seeking medical help. In 1976, medical student Tom Ferguson, MD, first coined the term e-Patient. It means a health consumer who uses the Internet to gather information about a medical condition for themselves or on behalf of family and friends and uses electronic communication tools to cope with medical conditions. Dr. Ferguson described e-Patients as “empowered medical consumers.”1

During the COVID-19 pandemic, social media and networking platforms – such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, WhatsApp, online health support groups – are used increasingly by e-Patients to gather critical health information. Health care providers often take a conflicted stand on the use of social media. Though we want our patients to read about their illnesses and make informed choices, we often get frustrated by misdiagnoses, misinformation, and disinformation that comes with it.

Once we say well being meals, you might think of low calorie foods such as boring vegetables, fruits or yogurt. The best approach to keep away from all of this and stick to a healthier path can be to eat pure foods that haven’t been altered by humans. That is in all probability resulting from consuming sardines and having a more balanced food regimen. The problem with some of these studies is that onions are consumed in small portions with different foods and they are by no means eaten by themselves.

Eat lean meat, poultry, and oily fish (e.g. salmon), sparsely and in small quantities (6oz most) to get a superb balance between their total well being benefits and their negative impact on gout. A pinch of sugar not only adds to the taste of the onions but additionally provides it a golden brown color.

Sunflower oil is a healthy … Read More
