The Corona virus outbreak provides an interesting case to observe and study a wide range of phenomena, bringing to light issues one would generally not associate with a virus outbreak. One of the fascinating issues that has emerged is the proliferation of false news.
Ever since the news of the outbreak broke out, there have been wild speculations about the source of the virus. Among those, a slew of Videos that purportedly showed people in China eating bat soup contributed to the claim that the virus has jumped from bats to humans. According to the BBC1, one such video that has attracted a lot of attention (and anger) showed a smiling Chinese woman holding a cooked bat and claiming that it tasted like chicken. However, BBC asserts that that video has not been shot in Wuhan or even in China. Instead, it has been filmed in 2016 in Palau, an archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean and by a blogger and travel show host. Mengyan Wang, the show host and blogger, has now apologized and has said that she had just wanted to introduce the customs of the people of Western Pacific. It turns out that bat soup is not particularly common in China after all.
Another interesting case, according to BBC, is that of conspiracy theorist and YouTuber Jordan Sather. He has shared a link to a patent filed in 2015 by the Pirbright Institute in Surrey, England. The patent talks about the development of a version of coronavirus for use in vaccines. This video has been shared mainly by conspiracy and anti-vaccination groups. Sather suggests that the Gate foundation has released the virus intentionally to attract funding. Others claims that the virus has been part of a covert biological weapons program in China. There is also an unsubstantiated video of a woman (supposedly in Wuhan) wearing protective suit in an unknown location who claims that the actual number of infections in China are more than 90,000. She also claims that there is a “second mutilation” of the virus that can infect up to 14 people (as opposed to 1-2 people).
The explosion of conspiracy theories, fake news, fand acts mixed with fiction, I think, shines a light into the human psyche more than the actual situation. We humans are proud of our claim to rationality. However, it is in such occasions that the irrational forces within us surface and show their power over us.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
