The seriousness of False Information about covid-19

Hello

My article today is about the epidemic that the world is facing at the moment. i would like to stress my view more on the media which is the source of our information. i know and understanding that everyone across the world is panicking and highly worried about how the virus as affected the world the state of the economy and employment opportunities. the covid-19 has everyone is already been informed is a virus that has no cure as of yet. but the way news has traveled due to this virus is more scarier than the virus itself. there is this one social media that tends to make updates about the virus and is very much disturbing, that every single day there is something new about the virus. i tend to engage myself with watching the news daily but the articles that are updated on this social media platform are very much nerve wrecking.

first it was an article about how you can get the virus. which food will cause the virus after you consume them. and then it was how to use the home remedies to cure the virus. how you can use garlic, lemon and honey with warm water and consume them and cure the virus. but this news was never announced anywhere on tv news. the only information we got from the health practitioners was that people should be self isolated and always stay clean. my biggest concern becomes, who should we trust? the doctors and the government confirmed that this new virus that the world is facing has no cure or any alternative method to combat it as of yet. but yet people are publishing such false information about new vaccines and cures who are we going to put our faith in and say we believe them.

we are all worried about the impact of the virus in the world already, we don't need false information roaming everywhere. if the only source of information is allowing some of its platform to publish such information , then should we sit still each day and wait for them to give us an update about how we can protect ourselves against this virus? i already have little trust on the media and if everyday there is new and different information about this epidemic then should i say i still believe that they care about our day to day interest? it's time someone did something about false information about serious matters that affect people's lives, this has gone way too long and it has to stop now!!!
