I have received two completly misleading posts about Coronavirus so far.
One said you get it in 10 mins if you have dry throat. Avoid fried food and cold drinks and going out in crowded spaces till March 2020. This is just a summary of the post I received on WhatsApp. There is much more baseless nothing about how to avoid it.
The second one I saw as a video, a mother was showing to her kids in the Metro. The video showed, a doctor removing some kind of bug from under a nail or lip or from some wound. It was a super closeup shot. The shocking part was when she said to her kids – this is caronavirus. It has come from China. It catches you if you have coldrinks, icecream, and processed food – Pizza, chowmin etc. I thought she was just trying to scare them before they could ask for all the junk food on their outing but when I looked at it later, there is actually a video circulating and all these fake facts about how to catch it.
It is apalling that such information is circulating instead of the correct information. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that somebody is actually creating these posts. I can’t imagine what might be the motivation.
