@kcarruthers totally agree and the same principle should not be limited to hospitals (but is uniquely important of hospitals particularly as FAR TOO MANY of the “only hospital nearby” are fully government funded but fully religiously operated)
Howard RheingoldIn the 1990s, I thought the answer to the badinfo-misinfo-disinfo flood that search engines made possible was literacy -- teaching people how to detect badinfo and find good info. I first blogged about "Crap Detection 101" in 2009: https://www.sfgate.com/opinion/article/crap-detection-101-3227013.php
and my 2012 book, Net Smart, was my effort to stimulate social media literacy, including crap detection

Now, I'm not so sanguine. Literacy has lost the arms race to ai-enhanced computational microtargetted mis/disinfo

PulkoMandyI have just realized a very annoying thing: the "Austr-" in "Austria" means East, from German Öster. The "Austr-" in "Australia", on the other hand, means South, from Latin Australis.
Thank you, have a nice day.
