So is this: * Facebook trying to imply that the NHS has better health advice than the US government (or California), or * a sign that Facebook's algorithm for where I am is simply "the last place I gave it location permission" (which I think was Heathrow Airport, on Feb 1)?

OK, Facebook is clearly just using the last place I gave it location permission (which is something I generally only do when posting from airports).

At least conceivably, NHS was picked to not have imputable taint of domestic partisan politics to it. Sort of like the BBC feed we had in the bookmarks toolbar, back in the day - not connected to any US sources. But I'd bet it's just your latter guess. Occam's Razor.

Probably the latter. I got this same message just now, except that it refers to the CDC.
