The State Department did not hold their annual dinner reception Eid ial Fitr on Aug 20 2012. In 2009 after she took office [HRC] posted offical video stating how they celebrated Eid with their muslim friends since '96.
Press release for the high holy day went out on Aug 18 but nobody questioned no dinner reception.
It was rescheduled for September 13 2012 because the state dept staff knew there would be something special to celebrate.
Abedin sent [HRC] an email Sept 12,
"eid reception could not be at a worse time."
She knew the Eid holoday was August 20.
I would call it FAKE. It appears he may be walking thru hospital corridors but they seem rather narrow and cluttered, more like community urgent care clinic. Then it cuts to the coronavirus care area which looks far more like one of the field tents set up.
AP claims a look inside Mt Sinia Hospital, which is the west side of Central Park Manhattan, not Queens.
The likely hospital in Queens would be Elmhurst.
So AP's own description conflicts.
He only walked by a few "patients", most clinic waiting ares are way more crowded with everyday ailments… yep… fake

SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you very much, Ambassador. I know that that was a very personal loss for you, as it was for me. I’m the one who sent Chris to Benghazi during the revolution to show support and be able to advise our government about what we could do to bring freedom and democracy and opportunity to the people of Libya.
Religious freedom and religious tolerance are essential to the stability of any nation, any people. Hatred and violence in the name of religion only poison the well. All people of faith and good will know that the actions of a small and savage group in Benghazi do not honor religion or God in any way. Nor do they speak for the more than one billion Muslims around the world, many of whom have shown an outpouring of support during this time.
Unfortunately, however, over the last 24 hours, we have also seen violence spread elsewhere. Some seek to justify this behavior as a response to inflammatory, despicable material posted on the internet. As I said earlier today, the United States rejects both the content and the message of that video. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. At our meeting earlier today, my colleague, the foreign minister of Morocco, said that all prophets should be respected because they are all symbols of our humanity, for all humanity.
But both of us were crystal clear in this paramount message: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind. And we look to leaders around the world to stand up and speak out against violence, and to take steps to protect diplomatic missions from attack.
Think about it. When Christians are subject to insults to their faith, and that certainly happens, we expect them not to resort to violence. When Hindus or Buddhists are subjected to insults to their faiths, and that also certainly happens, we expect them not to resort to violence. The same goes for all faiths, including Islam.
When all of us who are people of faith – and I am one – feel the pain of insults, of misunderstanding, of denigration to what we cherish, we must expect ourselves and others not to resort to violence. That is a universal standard and expectation, and it is everyone’s obligation to meet that, so that we make no differences, we expect no less of ourselves than we expect of others. You cannot respond to offensive speech with violence without begetting more violence.
And I so strongly believe that the great religions of the world are stronger than any insults. They have withstood offense for centuries. Refraining from violence, then, is not a sign of weakness in one’s faith; it is absolutely the opposite, a sign that one’s faith is unshakable.
So tonight, we must come together and recommit ourselves to working toward a future marked by understanding and acceptance rather than distrust, hatred, and fear. We can pledge that whenever one person speaks out in ignorance and bigotry, ten voices will answer. They will answer resoundingly against the offense and the insult, answering ignorance with enlightenment, answering hatred with understanding, answering darkness with light; that if one person commits a violent act in the name of religion, millions will stand up and condemn it out of strength.
>Doctor Erik Blutinger
ok multiple hospitals are part of Mt Sinai, so hard to specify. But it is suspicious that the AP video is April 12 and other news outlets are carrying the story.
Appears Dr Blutinger is deliberately fear-mongering. He gave an interview to UK's ITV on April 2. A brief glimpse in the treatment in the ITV video, yes busy but you can see what it is like, which is not true in AP video.
On April 2, he claims how bad and dire a war zone conditions are. So if things have not gotten worse as he predicted, he needs to save face and create drama.
Plus, WHY is a doctor going thru with a phone camera, possibly violatong patient's privacy during treatment? Even with the faces blurred in editting, appears a major violation of HIPAA confidentiality laws.
