About

#FilmYourHospitals is a hashtag that was started by conspiracy theorists during the March 2020 coronavirus outbreak to share videos of hospitals from the outside. The videos typically show little activity outside hospitals and are used to support unfounded theories that the coronavirus outbreak is a hoax.

Origin

On March 28th, 2020, Twitter user @22CenturyAssets[4] began the hashtag #filmyourhospital following some videos circulating of seemingly vacant hospitals. The tweet garnered over 100 likes in ten days (shown below).

I'm going to say this.
The main reason why there is little to no activity outside the hospitals is because at this moment in time, they do not want ANYONE going inside, unless they actually start showing symptoms of covid-19. A lot of hospitals do not have much equipment right now because of people going in saying they might have it, then actually don't, which wastes time, and resources.
The hospital in my area, has been declining to take in people with flu like symptoms unless they are showing they are having a time breathing because they have already used a lot of their equipment using it on people with just the flu, and not covid-19.
With that being said, I am just going to say one thing.
STAY THE FUCK INSIDE AND DON'T FILM YOUR HOSPITALS, LISTEN TO THE QUARANTINE ADVICE AND PLEASE STAY INSIDE YOU STUPID TWITTER USERS.
