The most annoying thing about fake news in cases of unbridled dissemination (like in the 2018 elections and in the case of the new coronavirus) is that many of these fake news is extremely repetitive. This is the case with today's fake. A text with countless tips about the coronavirus is circulating on the internet with the argument that it would be “the way that people in Canada are informed about the disease.” The text basically talks about holding on to breathe for 10 seconds to find out if the person has the disease and take sips of water every 15 minutes. Read (text alert): > ## Attention! Don't believe in a miracle cure for the new coronavirus > > ## _This is how people in Canada are informed. NCP's new coronavirus may not show signs of infection for many days. How do you know if you are infected? The most recent information states that the incubation period It can be up to 20 days before symptoms of COVID 19 become visible. When a person has a fever and/or cough and goes to the hospital, the lungs they are usually 50% fibrous and it's already too late!_ _Taiwan experts offer a simple self-assessment that we can do every morning; Take a deep breath and hold your breath for more than 10 seconds. If you successfully complete the exam without coughing, discomfort, of height or tightness, etc., this will show that there is no fibrosis in the lungs, which which basically means there is no infection. Perform a self-test every mornings at critical moments in an environment with clean air! EXCELLENT ADVICE of Japanese doctors treating COVID-19 cases. Everyone must ensure that your mouth and throat are moist and never dry._ > ## Ancelmo Gois wrote a text criticizing Eduardo Paes? We check _Take a few sips of water at least every 15 minutes. WHY? Even though the virus enters your mouth… drinking water or other liquids release it through from the esophagus to the stomach. Once there, stomach acid kills the virus. If you don't drink enough water regularly... the virus can enter the windpipe and in the lungs. This is dangerous. Send this information to your family, friends and everyone you know._ ## People in Canada are informed about coronavirus with testing breathing? The message spread widely on the internet (as did many others of similar content). very similar). But are people in Canada really informed about the new coronavirus with this breath test? The answer is no. Calm down, we explain everything to you. As we said at the beginning of the text, this is yet another case of fake news already denial that spread again with just one modification. This is because the thesis that “holding your breath to test if you have severe coronavirus” has already it was, at least, denied twice on Boatos.org. On the first occasion, the story was attributed to Taiwan. On Monday to Stanford hospital. Remember what we wrote and talked about: Right away, the message already makes us suspicious. She, like so many others related to the disease (and which can be seen in the video), has characteristics of online rumors such as being vague (it doesn't even say who the doctors are), alarmists, with Portuguese errors, request for sharing and no mention reliable sources. When searching for the recommendations presented in the message, we found nothing in the booklets from the WHO or the Ministry of Health. As there is no cure for disease, the main prevention recommendations are related to hygiene and, in the case of suspected illness, seek medical authorities. Searching more about the subject, we discovered that, in Taiwan (where they are mentioned the doctors in question), the story was denied by the Taiwan Fact Check (an association created by local journalists to check information on the internet). After consulting local doctors, the website in question pointed out that the message contains several errors. The first is to point out that the lung presents “fibrosis without advance notice in the case of coronavirus”. A doctor consulted said that “it is It’s impossible not to show symptoms.” It is also wrong to say that “50% of lungs proved to be fibrotic in the case of coronavirus.” Departing a little from the Taiwan article, it is important to highlight that, despite cause worldwide concern (precisely because it is a new virus), the Coronavirus has not shown a high fatality rate. Lethality has shown at the same levels as the common flu. Returning to the Taiwan fact-check article, local doctors not only reinforced that there was no recommendation regarding the “deep breathing method” as They also pointed out that they were unaware of this technique. To judge whether a lung is fibrosis (whether due to coronavirus or another reason), you need to go to a hospital and perform specific exams. The second part of the rumor was debunked in this other fact-checking article, by AFP Fact Check. As we pointed out, the news agency's checking service did not find any recommendations in reliable sources on the subject. In short: the story that points out that “people in Canada” test for the new coronavirus holding your breath is false. The message that is circulating in The internet is the new version of a nonsense that had already been debunked here. Ps.: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.
