10 Crazy Fake Information about Coronavirus Flooding the Internet "People kind of think they work, but they haven't really proven they work. That's really gotten out there on the internet. So, people are very enthusiastic since generally, these drugs appear to be safe, and they are, but they do have some toxicities" says Dr. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A3jiM2FNR8) Dr. Fauci speaks about people trying to use different drugs wondering it may cure the Coronavirus and also explains why it is useless to do such things that do not affect Coronavirus. One of the main reasons for these events is the amount of misinformation spreading among people in social media. Some people use Social media platforms like Facebook and Youtube to spread false information to boost up their view counts and grow their impact on the people. In the meantime, Facebook and Youtube says that they will take aggressive measures to control this spread of misinformation among people that could lead to terrible results. Here are some of the Fake information commonly spread on the internet. 10. Corona Virus Beer? Corona Beer Company reports a loss of £132 million loss following the Coronavirus outbreak and it has forced the company to stop its production. People need to understand that Corona Beer and Coronavirus are not connected just because both of them have the same name. Corona Beer Company even created an Ad (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wjZabYBsE) to help people understand about this misunderstanding. Even though the company officials keep reminding of this fact, people are still doubting and refusing to purchase the products. It's not a bottle of virus! It's just beer! 09. Inhaling Steam of Boiling Orange peels Cure Coronavirus? Videos of people inhaling steam coming from a pot with boiling water in which they have included orange peels, salt, and sometimes even chopped onion claiming that it will kill the Coronavirus is a massive misinformation circulating the internet. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzQYPNvyT8c) However, this method will be able to soften the symptoms of the virus, but it will not completely kill the virus of an infected person or prevent the virus from entering the body. It is necessary to follow the guidelines (https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public) that are precisely given to the public to prevent from getting infected. If you think you are infected please follow the necessary steps to self-quarantine and contact health officials straight away. Always keep in mind that there is no easy way to prevent the virus or to kill the virus if infected. 08. Drinking Tea with Ginger Cures the Coronavirus? A false information spreading among people, especially in the Asian countries is that a Chinese doctor has discovered that Tea can cure Coronavirus and it must be consumed 3 times a day, to be fully cured by the virus infection. This resulted in people consuming tea more than ever where they include certain medicinal herbs hoping that the more they drink, the quicker they can be cured. The health officials have said that there is no truth to those statements. Meanwhile, herbals are being used in the fight against the Coronavirus, because they help patients relieve symptoms as well as boost up the immunity system in the body. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul_ApmbLnY0) Herbs are considered as much as important as the western medicine because the scientist expects to utilize every useful resource to use them against the virus. 07. If you can hold your breath for more than 10 Sec, you don't have Coronavirus This message was shared on social media saying that if a person can hold their breath for more than 10 seconds without discomfort or interruption, he/she is not infected by Coronavirus. This misinformation was believed so much because it was mentioned in the text that it was from the Stanford Hospital Board. The Stanford Hospital rejected this by saying it was not a message from them. There is no such identification methods to know if a person is infected or not, other than the standard testing systems used in hospitals. This leads the asymptomatic people to believe that they do not have the virus after just holding their breath for 10 seconds. The virus will spread faster than ever because people think they are safe. 06. Silver Solutions Can Cure Coronavirus? Several companies use the fear for Coronavirus among people as a marketing strategy to sell their products claiming it can cure the Coronavirus. Fortunately, FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and FTC (Federal Trade Commission) has issued warnings against the companies that tried to scam the consumers by giving misleading information. American Televangelist Jim Bakker is being sued for spreading misinformation in "The Jim Bakker Show" about a product named "Silver Solutions" claiming that it can cure the Coronavirus and also forcing the consumers to buy the products at once. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLn44ZMsA3o) Scientists say that Silver has no elements in it to cure Coronavirus. In fact, exposure to a certain amount of Colloidal silver can be toxic to humans. Do not fall for scams relating to Coronavirus, because some so-called businessmen are trying to boost up their sales even in a global pandemic. 05. There's no Coronavirus? 5G is the Killer? "Viruses are pieces of DNA or RNA with a few other proteins, they bought out from the cell. They happen when the cell is poisoned. They are not the cause of anything" says Thomas Cowan, an American Holistic doctor. He believes that the thing killing people all over the world is the 5G connection and not a virus. But, there is more than enough evidence to prove that it is not caused by 5G connections. He says that the killing started in the first-ever 5G blanketed city in the world, Wuhan. But that statement itself is wrong. The first-ever 5G connections that were established nationwide were in South Korea, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp4YaKBUolQ) by the KT Corporation, the largest telecommunication company in South Korea. (https://corp.kt.com/eng/html/biz/services/vision.html ) It was long before the outbreak of Coronavirus in Wuhan, China. Also, Coronavirus has largely affected some countries even though they do not have 5G connections. Moreover, Scientists will not allow the release of 5G if it was harmful to humans. Several tests will be completed before release, to check for any damages that may occur to the human body. There are no proven facts that 5G connections are killing people and not Coronavirus. 04. Children are Immune to Coronavirus? A misinformation saying children are immune to Coronavirus has been widely spreading among the people on the internet. There is no truth to this statement. People of all ages are infected by this virus and it may have less impact on the children, but they are not totally immune. Old age people and people with complicated health conditions like Diabetes, respiratory disease, and heart disease are more vulnerable to this virus. Because of this misinformation, teenagers and middle-aged individuals believed that they are not affected by the virus. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvIlOZGCGII) They go outside and bring the virus home and spread it to the elders, who are most vulnerable to the virus. Please think about the elders and the most vulnerable persons before you make any irresponsible decisions. 03. Hydroxychloroquine Cures Coronavirus? Hydroxychloroquine, an Antimalarial drug became the topic of millions of people around the world as it was said to be a cure for the Coronavirus. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC-h7rnZW3k) Even President Trump mentioned it to be a "Game Changer". (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNaNX-YsZdI) But it is proven to be wrong by the scientists. No vaccine is clinically proven to be able to cure the virus until now. Laboratories from many countries from all over the world are racing for a vaccine at this very moment. After this spread of misinformation, people raced to go buy the drug and use it without prescription, hoping it can prevent them from getting infected by the virus. As a result, a man dies after drinking Chloroquine Phosphate, a form of chloroquine that is used to treat fish. Also, his wife fell seriously ill after drinking the same drug. The Antimalarial drug is not to be used without a prescription and if taken without any illness, it can be deadly and it has more harmful side-effects. Stop buying Hydroxychloroquine, because that leads to scarce of drugs to the patients who really need it. 02. Corona is a Hoax? People still ask "Is Coronavirus real?" The shortest answer is "Yes, it is real". However, President Trump repeatedly said that Coronavirus is a hoax. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5TZ6fTYrsE). Also, he mentions that America is fully prepared to contain the virus and there's nothing to worry about. In the meantime, the President completely ignores health issues and continues to organize large rallies for the election. Because of this ignorance, the United States has now become the new epicenter of the Coronavirus. Moreover, scientists are researching the virus day by day and have issued microscopic views of the virus. There are plentiful scientific evidence proving that the virus is real. Doctors and nurses are pleading the public to stay home until the virus is contained. But some ignorant groups are organizing strikes demanding to open Salons just to get their hair done. It is very irresponsible of the citizens of a country to be this ignorant. This is no hoax. The Coronavirus is real. 01. All Asians are Chinese? All Asians have Coronavirus? What's worse than the virus? The answer is "Racism" Asians are being assaulted and mistreated all over the world after the Coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China. Especially, Asian Americans face a lot of trouble even if they want to travel in public transport. The individuals who are assaulting people frequently mentioning that the Asians should go back to China with the Coronavirus, even if they are not Chinese. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9siwWlAuNGE) This must be stopped immediately. Just because they are Asians, they are not Chinese and the Chinese people who already live in different parts of the world did not bring the virus with them. I hope you understand this very well. Racism is not the answer to the Coronavirus.
