As of 19: 30 on January 22nd, 473 cases of pneumonia were confirmed in novel coronavirus. While the whole people are concerned about the progress of epidemic prevention and control, many people take advantage of this to create and spread rumors. In "News 1+1" broadcast on the evening of January 22nd, Bai Yansong refuted the rumors about novel coronavirus.
Smoking and drinking against novel coronavirus? Fake!
There are rumors that smoking played a role in resisting SARS in 2003, and it is also useful for resisting novel coronavirus this time. However, this rumor was quickly refuted by experts. According to Weibo, the official of People’s Daily, smoking will not only reduce the body’s resistance, but also increase the chance of infection, and the risk of serious illness in case of infection is greater.
If the rumor above is that smokers find reasons for smoking, drinkers also start to find reasons for themselves.
This picture circulated on the Internet uses the picture of "News 1+1" broadcast on January 20th connecting with Academician Zhong Nanshan. The rumor mongers modified the original video subtitles to imitate the tone of Academician Zhong Nanshan. The first half of the sentence convinces you that "wearing a mask is still useful" is in line with the current methods of preventing and controlling the epidemic, while the second half is a complete rumor — — Drinking high alcohol against coronavirus.
Where did such an unfounded statement come from?
The title party is rampant! Please do not mislead the masses!
Searching on the Internet found that on the afternoon of 22nd, many Internet websites were reprinting such news.
The first news headline is: "National Health Commission expert: novel coronavirus is afraid that alcohol is not resistant to high temperature".
The second news headline is: "Fear of alcohol, Academician Li Lanjuan, Wuhan novel coronavirus is not terrible".
When people see "fear of alcohol", many people first think that drinking or drinking white wine will help to resist novel coronavirus, but in fact, this news is that Academician Li Lanjuan said in an interview that "75% (medical) alcohol can kill this virus, so if you buy these things, it is ok for you to disinfect them regularly in places where you are in regular contact".
Note that Academician Li Lanjuan didn’t say "drinking", but only said that it is useful to use medical alcohol to wipe mobile phones and disinfect hands.
Regarding these "headline party" news, Bai Yansong said that the content of the news is ok, but please change the title, at least not to make people misunderstand.
According to the latest news released by the pneumonia epidemic prevention and control headquarters in novel coronavirus, Wuhan on January 23, since 10: 00 today (January 23), the city buses, subways, ferries and long-distance passenger transport in Wuhan have been suspended; Citizens should not leave Wuhan, airports and railway stations without special reasons.
Don’t let rumors become an obstacle now that the work of preventing and controlling the epidemic is tense. Rumors stop with wise men! Please stop spreading rumors!
