With conspiracy theorists arguing the validity of levels of danger associated with the coronavirus and the right-wing media outlets claiming it’s a death sentence, finding valid news and information on COVID-19 is getting more and more difficult to do. Some civilians have felt the need to take matters into their own hands and begin reporting their findings on sites like Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit.

Although we at TPH can not validate the research and reporting done by these citizens, we do feel like it is important to share what others are saying and what they are finding. In the day and age of misinformation it is important to take in the information and make sure to form your own opinion off of facts.

Source of the origin of the coronavirus

Youtube user laowhy86 has spent 10 years living in China that is fluent in Mandarin. He understands the culture along how the government of China operates. His video below is an eye opening perspective of where he thinks the virus originated. This 10:02 video is definitely worth a watch.

Seeing a video like this makes you think that if a single Youtuber can make a solid argument as to where the source of this virus could have possibly originated, why can’t the media do investigative reporting and do the same?

Hospitals Being Overrun with infected patients

We have heard for close to the last month how the hospitals were comparable to a “war zone”. The news has shown its viewers long lines, tons of infected patients, imagery that’s only comparable to an apocalyptic movie. Some citizens began doubting the severity of the situation and decided to go and check on the status of these medical centers for themselves.

Youtuber Dana Ashlie did exactly just this. The 13 minute video below is an expose of coverage provided by citizens across the United States.

Videos like this make you wonder “who is telling the truth?” We are in a day and age where you need to do your own fact checking, but this video definitely makes you wonder who you need to be listening to.

There are dozens of other sources we will be providing over the next couple of days that we encourage you to watch, read, and assess yourself. We as a country are in crisis where disinformation can literally mean the difference between life and death.
