Where did the fake news about 2 people requiring medical attention for nerve gas exposure come from?

@resident asks:
Q: Where did the fake news about 2 people requiring medical attention for nerve gas exposure come from?
A: people
See also: "Whisper Down the Lane" "The Telephone Game" etc.. as examples, only imagine those games under high duress.
ie.. "reports of a medical emergency at X. There were also two employees out sick that day" morphs to "a medical disaster at X where two people were gravely hurt" or similar.
Your use of the loaded term 'fake news' is interesting. Are you offended by early reports being potentially inaccurate?
