            Warning: One of the first scientific papers of its kind, published in BMJ Global Health, reveals that more than 25% of the most viewed COVID-19 videos on YouTube in spoken English contains misleading or inaccurate information. You can check here all analysis using real data, its method, and also results (https://gh.bmj.com/content/5/5/e002604).

“The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the accuracy, usability, and quality of the most widely viewed YouTube videos on COVID-19. Based on these results, the second objective is to propose immediate recommendations that will enable professional organizations to better utilize YouTube and expand the delivery of accurate and timely information, as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves.”

            Based in the last paragraph, you should bear in mind that looks for a real specialist video, or something from WHO (World Health Organization), is extremely important in these times. Please double check all information you find online, and more importantly do not trust in everything you read, listen, or watch, from unknowing sites, any online influencer, or similar. We’re all should highlight scientific information to join the online battle against false claims.

            “We need to change the way that we interact with social media,” said Pennycook. “Individuals need to remember to stop and think about whether something is true before they share it with others.”

             As you can find at Nature(https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01834-3), many COVID-19 myths seem to be politically motivated, such as the reports that SARS-CoV-2 either escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China or was a bioweapon created deliberately in the country. A survey(https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/04/08/nearly-three-in-ten-americans-believe-covid-19-was-made-in-a-lab/) of US residents conducted in mid-March found that 6% thought the virus was accidentally created in a laboratory and 23% that it was developed intentionally. Chen and her colleagues have attempted to debunk such reports, as well as those suggesting the virus was brought to China by people from The United States.

Here go some topics that people are spreading lyings around the internet. Some of them are ridiculous, but others may be somehow believable, so be careful.

1)    Anti-Vaccine movement, some people are saying that vaccines cause autism. This is not a good time if you consider that COVID's vaccine is about to be done in half a year.

2)   5G Mobile Networks is not causing somehow COVID-19

3)   Drinking more water does not kill the coronavirus

4)   Gargling with salt water, or anything similar is not a cure for COVID-19.

5)   Eating sea lettuce or injecting disinfectant won’t prevent you from getting COVID-19.

6)   The new coronavirus cannot be transmitted through mosquito bites.

Milk, eggs, and meat are safe for consumption: As there is no evidence that animals can transmit the new Coronavirus to humans, according to Boehringer Ingelheim (https://www.boehringer-ingelheim.com/covid-19/protecting-humans-and-animals/science-against-covid-19-fake-news)
