VIRUS @ RUMOURS SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE

COVID-19 has now been detected in at least about 76 countries. Gary Kobinger, the director of Infectiuos Disease Research Center at Lava University in Quebec City,Canada, said that outbreaks have popped up in countries far from China because people with mild infection were not detected and travelled to other places. “if they hadn’t travelled, the virus would not be spreading because we would know where those cases are coming from. The deadly pathogen would be contained and that would be the end of it,” he said. In the absence of good serology data, it is also completely speculative to say that there are no undetected cases.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) urged the public to know the facts about COVID-19 and help avert the spread of rumours. The virus, the CDC emphasized, can make anyone sick regardless of race or ethnicity. It’s not exclusive to Chinese, to colour, or descent.
