During this time, the epidemic has affected people’s nerves, and the social psychology is particularly sensitive. It is precisely this point that the rumour-mongers take seriously, and they are either grandstanding, “not surprising and dying” to gain attention. For example, in the rumor that “you can’t eat oranges before the antigen test”, it is said that “someone cut an orange and squeezed the juice into the antigen test.” On the kit, it didn’t take long for a purple horizontal line to appear in the T-zone.” But in fact, the antigen detection kit uses human samples, such as nasal swabs, not other liquids such as cola and orange juice. The experiment itself has no value.

Some of the rumors are just to add fuel to the rumors and exaggerate the rumors and their own half-unders Two employees in Bright Dairy’s fourth plant have abnormal antigen test results.” This news is exaggerated. In fact, Dairy Factory No. 4 has stopped production on March 31 due to cooperation with sealing and control management. All products in the factory have been sealed and no products have been released to the market.

There are also some rumors that are lest the world will not be chaotic, and deliberately fabricate facts to disturb people’s hearts, such as “Residents of a certain place in Shanghai rushed out of the community to buy supplies?” The actual source of this video is The place is not in Shanghai.

In the Internet age, everyone has a “microphone”, the cost of rumors is reduced, and rumors spread rapidly. The reason why rumors can have influence on the Internet is inseparable from the two links of “manufacturing” and “spreading”. In addition to attacking with heavy blows, and punishing rumor makers in accordance with the law, the relevant departments should also guide netizens to understand the truth of online information in a timely manner.

In the new round of slicing and grid nucleic acid screening, the general public does not stay at home, and the channel for information is often the circle of friends. The acquaintance transmission chain of individual-group-individual” spreads. While forwarding news, people often ignore scientific and rational judgments, resulting in many incredible rumors that can be spread by ten or ten. The more struggling to fight the epidemic, the more netizens have to ask why. When forwarding the circle of friends, be more rational and less blind.

Rumours should not only stop at “wise men”, but also stop at “netizens”. The majority of netizens “don’t believe or spread rumors” when the information in the circle of friends is difficult to distinguish, and use the “forward button” in their hands carefully, which is also making their own contributions to the fight against the epidemic.
