Branswell seems to be discussing the problem of journals / research institutions sending out press releases “for immediate release” that do not stipulate which papers are preprint.  Therefore, this tweet is pertaining to scientists communicating to the media/public.

With preprints playing such a big role in the dissemination of #Covid19 data & with there being such a firehose of info coming out, I wish journals would stipulate "this was out as a preprint" when they push out papers, especially ones for immediate release.
