With the pandemic starting to gain a foothold in the region, social media sites are rife with bogus remedies, tales of magic cures and potentially hazardous medical advice. Experts are urging caution and warning that the “coronavirus infodemic” could have disastrous consequences. Poultry sales in India plunged following false claims that chickens were linked to the pandemic. Racial attacks against people from the country’s northeastern states increased after rumors spread that they carried the virus.
One preacher claimed to have interviewed — in his dream — a man in Italy to obtain a cure for the virus. On the outskirts of Islamabad the army was called in to shut down a mosque after its prayer leader despite exhibiting symptoms kept his mosque open. There are concerns that if cases were to surge in South Asia, it would overwhelm already strained health systems.
I don't understand why India and other Asian countries except China have less mortality then US, Italy, Spain, Iraq.
I don't include India in that
TELL THEM TO BLOCK TRUMP!!!
It’s a country where the medical system for many, the vast underclass, is homeopathy. Of course they’ll buy into quackery.
They're going to be eating albinos in Africa again, y'all. 😥
A fresh cow dung bath will eradicate the virus from your system. Tried and truth...
Like US “news” & social media are loaded with sensationalism.
At least they're not taking fish tank cleaner cowdungbath drinkingcowurine =D
Sure MSNBC, CNN, ABC, and other left wing outlets have been producing fake news for a long time. 🤪
If only the media hadn't blown their credibility....
It was a cheap publicity stunt.
Are they broadcasting trump’s little daily Miss Information press conferences there too? TrumpLiesTheWorldDies COVID19
So, they’re in the same boat we are
And don’t listen to WuhanHealthOrganization too! It is too late now. They insisted nth to worried abt back in January..... Actions should have taken month ago to prevent CoronavirusOutbreak
How is this any different from the US? We’ve been fed misinformation since the beginning and it continues today.
so is AP
For poor countries this may save a lot of lives. Try to get these plans and this site seen. I found this site from Microchip linking it ( the makers of atmel chips) Article:
🔴The largest virus bank in the world watched the Wuhan Institute in central China Huubei Prefecture and preserves more than 1,500 different viruses. Date May 28, 2018 two years ago!
Don’t listen to realDonaldTrump n don’t drink cow urine.
But social media should be vigilant. Censorship bots tend to throw away the baby with the bathwater. This is a victim. A tweet with this link in it becomes invisible. Yet this spanish DIY ventilator project will save lives. www (dot) oxygen (dot) protofy (dot) xyz
Why don't they just turn on CNN or Fox News🤔
Ummm the India government pumped out some of this Aruvedic medicine nonsense about a month ago.
As opposed to what? The fake media reports coming out of places like China?
If they think its bad now just wait till the media twists it up and starts using it as a political weapon.
It's the same here in the US.
1. don't listen to anything donald trump says. 2. don't drink fish tank cleaner.
Let’s start with cow piss remedy in India !!
