Competent citizens, while we all struggle through these difficult times, a new infection is spreading throughout the populace. This virus spreads through gadgets through social media and messaging applications, not water droplets like the coronavirus, or cannot be tested with the COVID test. We call misinformation a virus. It’s pretty simple for things to be misconstrued or misheard in the instantaneous, linked world of the digital age, much like a giant worldwide whispering match. Or maybe someone with bad intentions just threw up these untrue facts to confuse internet users. These scams can appear in a group chat message or on Facebook. It is best to independently verify the accuracy of the facts before we share them and propagate false information.
Covid-19 was made in a lab and is identical to a regular cold.
Sadly, this first fraud is widespread worldwide and not limited to Indonesia. In actuality, Covid-19 is distinct from the typical cold brought on by an influenza virus according to the Rapid COVID test. Stanford Children’s Health claims that the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which was just recently identified, is what causes Covid-19. While Covid-19’s initial signs may look like a cold with fevers and coughs, this condition can potentially worsen and produce pneumonia or respiratory problems that might be fatal.
Additionally, tales about how SARS-Cov-2 was produced in a lab by scientists for whatever sinister purpose circulated. Naturally, this conspiracy hypothesis is untrue. Scientists worldwide have access to the SARS-CoV-2 genome and its genetic make-up, but none of them have discovered any proof of genetic engineering of any type. According to research published in Nature Medicine, the SARS-CoV-2 genome was discovered to be related to other viruses found in animals, including bats and pangolins. The most plausible scenario is that SARS-CoV-2 initially infected these animals before slowly evolving to infect people.
Indonesia is going to use the herd immunity approach.
Facebook was awash with rumors that the Indonesian government intended to deploy herd immunity to solve the Covid-19 issue. When many individuals contract a disease and develop an immunity to it, this is known as herd immunity. Once a large population is immune to the illness, the virus would be more difficult to propagate, and the pandemic would end. In contrast, the Covid-19 Task Force’s Achmad Yurianto has denied the myth, adding that the Indonesian government has never intended to employ herd immunity to combat Covid-19.
Thermo weapons harm the brain.
The Thermo gun, a pistol-shaped gadget that measures one’s body temperature in a matter of seconds when pointed at the forehead, has been a technology that has been used extensively throughout the epidemic. According to a video hoax, thermometers were first used to measure wires’ temperature rather than people’s. Hence their radiation may be damaging to the human brain.
Aside from that, there are two other kinds of thermometers: industrial thermometers, used to gauge the temperature of things like water, machinery, AC, swimming pools, and transformers, and medical thermometers. Therefore, the thermometers used to measure wires differ from those used to gauge our body temperature. Thermo guns also employ infrared, which is not hazardous to our brains and differs from x-ray radiation.
The rapid Covid-19 transfer rate through ATMs
According to a social media statement, plastic or rubber gloves are advised when using the ATM. Furthermore, 13 people have been admitted to hospitals due to the Covid-19 illness, which is said to be spread by ATMs in 70 percent of cases. He claims that ATMs are the highest means of Covid-19 transmission, although no precise information is available.
Bananas can help prevent COVID-19.
In a video that has gone viral on Tiktok and Twitter, a scientist from the University of Queensland demonstrates how bananas’ high vitamin B6 concentration can boost body immunity and lower the risk of Covid-19. Bananas were not a part of the Covid-19 vaccination testing conducted by the Queensland scientist. There hasn’t been any more study on whether bananas help prevent Covid-19, even though they are healthful and have numerous advantages for our bodies.
There are many forms of cough.
Whatsapp users received a message from a physician from the AIIMS Delhi Pathological Department. The statement describes the various coughing patterns and how they connect to the signs of Covid-19. There are no public pronouncements about the multiple sorts of coughs or comparisons of coronavirus and flu symptoms on the official AIIMS Delhi website. The doctor said and proved with PCR Tests to have disseminated this fraud does not work for the AIIMS Pathological Department. Still, all other employees have made their identities and email addresses available to the public.
The Sartan line of hypertension medications increases your susceptibility to Covid-19.
According to information spreading via WhatsApp regarding the outcomes of a conference call with FKUI/RSUI colleagues, using ACE Inhibitor-class hypertension medications such as those in the Sartan family increases your risk of developing Covid-19 and people tend to get more COVID tests. Additionally, according to the ASEAN Federation of Cardiology (AFC), using ACE inhibitors and ARBs in Covid-19 patients with a history of cardiovascular disease is still advised by the four most prominent cardiology organizations in the world since there is no evidence that they worsen the infection.
