On April 7, according to the Shanghai Internet refuting rumors, recently, a piece of news was circulated on the Internet claiming to be “Singapore Lianhe Zaobao’s exclusive report”, saying that “WHO’s chief virus expert Don Clark has determined that the global new crown patients will not be affected. Based on the positive nucleic acid, and the infection based on the lung image changes. The Chinese Health and Family Planning Commission will issue new standards for the containment and control of the new coronavirus. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also announced that the Lausanne Oak Bay, where the UN headquarters is located, will be renamed It is Wuhan Road, and it is predicted that the epidemic will end within this year.”
Only from the description of the online video, there are many terms that are not standardized expressions, such as “human virus expert”, “new crown disease epidemic”, “new coronavirus”, “sub-subbody” and so on. Further verification by the Shanghai Rumor Refuting Platform found that the online news was false and full of loopholes:
The so-called “exclusive report”, Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao refuted the rumor through its official Weibo “@zaobaowang” on April 1, saying: Lianhe Zaobao and its affiliated Lianhe Zaobao website have never released the above information.
The “Health and Family Planning Commission” in the news on the Internet no longer exists. At present, China only has the “Health and Health Commission”, the full name of which is the “National Health and Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China”.
The “new standard of sealing and control” in the news is also non-existent. The “closure and control measures” are implemented by the central and local governments at all levels, and China has not issued new standards for the closure and control of the new crown. The National Health Commission has only issued the “New Coronary Virus Pneumonia Diagnosis and Treatment Plan”, and the ninth edition was just released in March this year.
Also, the World Health Organization does not have the position of “chief virus expert”, nor does it have an expert named “Don Clark”, and no relevant person has expressed that “new crown patients will not be nucleic acid positive. on the basis of”.
In addition, the United Nations headquarters is located in New York, USA, not Lausanne, Switzerland; “renamed Wuhan Road” is completely nonsense.
Judging from the verification results, on March 30, local time, the WHO did hold a regular press conference. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at the meeting that existing research shows that the most likely scenario is that the new coronavirus continues to evolve, but as the body’s immunity increases due to vaccination or infection with the virus, the virus becomes more serious. The degree will decrease over time. If people’s immunity weakens, there may be periodic peaks in the number of cases and deaths, in which case vulnerable groups need to receive regular booster shots of the new crown vaccine. WHO also stressed that vaccination is critical to controlling the outbreak.
It can be seen that Tedros did not mention China in his speech, nor did he announce that the new crown epidemic would end within the year.
Combining the above information, it can be found that “global identification of new crown patients will not be based on nucleic acid positive” is an out-and-out fake news. At present, the public should cooperate with government departments to protect themselves. Meanwhile, according to WHO’s recommendations, vaccination should be done as early as possible.
