5 myths about Covid-19 debunked
Share
Here are five myths about the novel coronavirus debunked by
experts.
The coronavirus was not manufactured by humans
Infectious diseases can be caused by multiple factors. Viruses
exist in our natural environment. The virus could have been caused by climate
change, ecological factors, agricultural factors, human behaviour and because these
are constantly happening, outbreaks like these are inevitable.
Ordinary masks are not a protection against the virus
While a simple mask can provide a sense of security to
individuals, they are not effective in preventing the virus. The N95 mask is a
respirator and it is able to filter particles however it needs to be perfectly
sealed before it can be effective. Masks are usually used for infected
individuals rather than healthy ones.
The virus doesn’t just target Chinese people
The virus started in China but that doesn’t mean it targets
only Chinese people. The reality is that it’s everyone’s virus. The virus does
not discriminate on the basis of race or nationality and can spread very easily
from person to person through droplets just like the flu.
Closing borders will not stop the spread of the virus
With Trump’s recent announcement of the travel ban in the
US, it is important to note that these types of bans have not been effective in
the past. Closing borders has adverse effects on populations as they create
more panic and fear. Governments should work towards curbing the spread of the
virus locally.
The virus doesn’t just affect the elderly
The virus can affect children just as much as it can affect
the elderly. Although the virus can show more severe symptoms in older people,
it affects everyone. This means that all of us have to be careful and stay
safe!
