Coronavirus deniers take aim at hospitals as pandemic grows.

But the grim realities of hospitals overflowing with patients seeking treatment for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, are not always as visible from the outside, leaving space for bad actors and coronavirus denialists to push dangerous disinformation — and put themselves in harm's way.

The #FilmYourHospital hashtag had been tweeted by more than 5,000 accounts by Monday afternoon, though some people were critical of the conspiracy theory. "HIPAA and patient privacy is a final reality for every hospital in the U.S., and every health care encounter," he said, referring to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. "These are federal laws we have to comply with, and certainly images fit into there."

The #FilmYourHospital trend is just the newest citizen journalist form of a popular conspiracy that has plagued the coronavirus pandemic since January, said Joan Donovan, the director of Harvard University's Technology and Social Change Research Project.
