    1. You say it’s widely known with no evidence. Widely known to some does not mean it is known to everyone.

    2. The guardian is reporting what they the family were told by the nurse. If you read the original Time article they say that precisely, the nurse told them that’s where the nearest place was. Whether the nurse was correct or not is not what they claimed.

      I said it would be useful to make the information widely known. Journalists should call up the clinics in southern Illinois, ask if they’re open, and share this information in future articles. I assume they’ll get plenty of opportunities.
