Top 10 weirdest and deadliest Myths, Rumors and misinformation about Coronavirus;

#1:Corona Virus is a conspiracy of China or US as a biological weapon;

Social Media and news statements of different media are continuously charging China which is the epicenter of Coronavirus outbreak as responsible for spreading the deadliest virus to the world. Also, some news statements and experts articles and social media networks are also saying that Corona Virus is a result of conspiracy Theory of United States of America as they wanted to contain China which was challenging US as a rival to its Economy and Power. WHO and other health institutes have declared that both of them are wrong. WHO warned social Media and other platforms to stop breaking such news as it is not confirmed yet that who was responsible for such dangerous pandemic outbreak.

     But social media is a never ending and never stopping tool. They kept sharing that China is responsible for such contagious pandemic and people never pay heed to confirm any news and as a result of it, a huge amount of hatred is shown towards Chinese all over the world and they become the victim of hatred. So, as long as anything is confirmed do not blame anyone as this is totally unethical of being Racist and target someone.

#2: Corona Virus Makes people ill for life and it will  make people burst;

Its totally a myth that people can be ill for life. According to WHO guidelines, this virus shows symptoms in 14 days and it can be cured too if the immunity level of a person is strong. Those who are in their 50s and those who have already any kind of disease are the most vulnerable. But that doesn`t mean that a person catching virus will remain ill for life. 

                               After all its a virus and as long as its vaccine will appear, this virus is still incurable and only be contained by following WHO guidelines.

Also, the Weirdest  Rumor was seen in social media that Corona Virus has burst the people and they caught fire. It was also depicted through the satellite image that people were catching fire due to Corona Virus. This is all fake and just a Rumor. Don`t panic people. This was taken notice by BBC and WHO and it was considered totally Fake!!

#3:Eating Garlic and taking Carbon Dioxide can cure Corona Virus;

This news is totally fake and it is just a rumor. It is good to have an intake of Garlic in diet but that doesn`t mean that it is effective in fighting Corona Virus. Also, the intake of Carbon dioxide is highly prohibited as this would severely damage body parts and their functioning. This rumor was strictly noticed and refuted by WHO that there is no truth in these fake news.So, do avoid these kinds of rumors and misinformation!!

#4: Exposure to Sunlight and UV rays can cure Corona Virus;

Beware of such kind of rumors and myths. People are catching Corona Virus in hottest part of the world as it was also spread across African continent. So, if they can catch this pandemic this means that hottest temperature cannot kill Corona Virus. Also, exposure to UV rays is also quite dangerous for body. Avoid paying heed to such kind of rumors.

#5:Drinking excess water and holding breath for 10 seconds can be a cure and check for having Corona Virus;

Corona Virus is quite smart then we actually predicted it. It is highly prescribed to drink plenty of water but still it is not effective to avoid catching Corona Virus. Also, Holding breath for ten seconds can`t tell whether you have or not have infected lungs of chest. Some patients do not have any symptoms for Corona Virus according to research and experience of doctors. These patients are simply carriers for Corona Virus. So, avoid believing such kinds of fake news and Follow simple rules of Washing hands and maintain Social Distancing!!

#6:News about the death of British PM Boris Johnson, and Social Media spreading the News of some people beings carriers of Corona Virus are totally Fake!!

I think this is just disgusting that people are spreading such kind of news on social Media that it are totally unacceptable. Social Media platforms burst the news of Boris Johnson`s death when he was shifted to Hospital`s ICU from home. This is totally stupid that they just declare death news of alive people without any hesitation and people start believing on it by sharing the already fake news. Boris Johnson is still alive.

                 Also, People from Social Media platforms have used the personal image of a person named Jerry Guo with his friend at the zebra crossing and make news that this person has appeared from Shanghai to Vancouver and he has already a patient of Corona virus. While in reality, that person named Jerry Guo was totally fine and has never visited China. This is not a story of single person, there are plenty of news of innocent people being the victim of social Media`s fake news articles.

#7: "We Chat" A Chinese messaging App has been used to target Chinese Community about Corona Virus Outbreak;

A popular messaging chat has been used by some officials to accuse Chinese about the spread of Corona Virus. This App is widely being used not only in China but outside China mostly among Chinese-American Communities. This has created much fear and hatred about Chinese people and one of the post in "We Chat" was viewed over 100.000 times, This means people are much believing on fake news.

#8: 5G Networks and ZONG Network as Carriers of Corona Virus;

There is no reality in it. This is totally fake. 5G networks are not the carriers of Corona Virus and not even the ZONG Network. It is totally safe to use. Many people have considered it truth and they have burst the ZONG sims in fear of catching corona Virus. This is what happens when you believe fake news without confirming it. 

#9: Countries or people are not receiving carriers of tools for help from foreign countries because of fear of catching Corona virus;

This is totally a fake news as according to the certified researches of Health official and WHO, Corona virus does not exist on surface. It  transmits through people and through other means. So, it is safe for countries to receive packages of help to help containing this pandemic!!

#10: US president uncertified speeches to cure Corona Virus are totally false and hazardous to health according to health officials;

President Trumps is on World Media spotlight for delivering false speeches about the treatment of Corona Virus and these all are uncertified by health professionals. He said in one of his speech that Chloroquine can be used to treat Corona Virus patients that is actually used to cure Malaria by the world. He said that FDA will soon make this drug available to treat coronavirus patients. This is totally fatal as FDA commissioner later made it public through his speech that this drug was not a treatment according to WHO.

                   Another treatment which President Trump has given is to inject Disinfection in bodies of Corona Virus patients that will cure this pandemic. This is also refuted by health officials and WHO as being seriously harmful for body.

After all this, one thing is conformed which is to follow WHO and other certified health officials and government guidelines. Never use any medication without any confirmation and never blindly follow any news without its confirmation because it will not only impact your life but also make other`s life at risk. So, Wash your hands for 20 sec after every half  hour and maintain social distancing. These are only hacks to contain the spread of Corona Virus
