6 False Information on the Corona Virus Rampant on the Internet

2 Corona Virus Created by China to Fight the US

Before the pandemic, trade relations between China and the United States (US) were somewhat poor. In fact, the US has blocked products belonging to China, Huawei.

These factors make some people believe that the Chinese government created the corona virus to fight the US. In fact, it was also mentioned that the corona virus which was used as a weapon of war was leaked in the Chinese laboratory.

In fact, this is simply not true and many parties from the Chinese government have denied this.

3. Corona Virus Like the Common Flu

On February 24, 2020, US President Donald Trump had called the corona virus nothing more than the flu in general. This view was also confirmed by US political commentator, Rush Limbaugh. Rush Limbaugh even said the media made the corona virus creepy.

But in fact, the viruses that cause flu and covid-19 are different. The virus that causes flu comes from the rhinovirus group. This virus spreads from human to human and most often affects children or adolescents. Rhinovirus infection can occur throughout the year, but most commonly in the rainy season. Meanwhile, COVID-19 is caused by a virus from the coronavirus class.
