This is necessary on Twitter. It's easy for fake or incorrect news to spread, you can't edit it and updates/self-replies are often hidden.

- dwaltrip 6y agoSure, but they should also own up to their mistake. They flat out said "It won't be a deadly epidemic".
- fireattack 6y agoThey made a tweet to explicitly say they deleted it because it's wrong. How is that not "owning up"?
- TeMPOraL 6y agoProperly owning up would include keeping the mistake up, so that people reading the apology would actually know what they're owning up to. Without the original Tweet, they might be apologizing for mistyping "2+2=4" as "2+2=5", for all you know.
