The Dhaka Times Desk Amidst the deadly corona virus crisis, various strange theories or claims are regularly spreading online worldwide. Some of these have come from the mouths of major political leaders.
From the theft of hospital facemasks to the treatment of corona virus infections and the use of this virus as a weapon of germ warfare - all the demands are heard in the mouths of politicians.
US President Donald Trump is not behind in this regard. In the beginning, he did not want to pay much attention to the corona virus, but later said that it has spread globally in China. This virus has now become a pandemic.
As the demand for facemasks increased, Trump claimed that large numbers of surgical masks were being stolen from New York hospitals.
He asked that where are so many masks going? Are they actually disappearing through the back door? However, there was no evidence of such a large number of masks being stolen.
Several Chinese officials have repeatedly tried to say that the coronavirus did not originate in China. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lizan has repeatedly said this.
China's state media has repeatedly tried to make these false claims that the US military may have created Covid-19!
Another claim is that the virus spread to Italy long before China. However, no evidence has been found so far in favor of the truth of such a claim.
Scientists have agreed that the coronavirus was first transmitted from wild animals to humans in late 2019 in Wuhan, China.
Italy's nationalist leader Matteo Salvini told his supporters that China created the coronavirus in a laboratory.
Although scientists are sure, Covid-19 is not a man-made virus.
Social media like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube have censored many of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's statements for spreading false information.
In one of these posts, he claimed that the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine can completely cure the corona virus.
In fact, there have been serious tests on this, the drug is also being used experimentally. However, its overall effectiveness is yet to be proven.
A senior Indian politician, Subramaniam Swamy, claims that the corona virus that has spread in India is a weak mutation of the virus and the human body's immune system can effectively deal with it.
All viruses mutate or change, but scientists have yet to find a sample of how deadly Covid-19 can be. In fact, many things in this regard are still unknown to people.
This covid-19 can be a danger to all of us. However, it is difficult to prevent the virus spreading globally by making false claims online.
