So we have busted some of the myths about Coronavirus. Myth number 1: Corona will go away in summer. This is absolutely not true. From the evidence so far, the COVID-19 virus can be transmitted in ALL AREAS, including areas with hot and humid weather. Myth number 2: In summer the virus will spread more due to mosquito bites. This is also not true. Mosquitos don’t increase the spread or you can say mosquitoes don’t affect this virus at all. Myth number 3: You don't have Corona if you can hold your breath for 10 seconds without discomfort. Wrong. Many elderly without the virus won’t be able to do it either. Myth Number 4: Coronavirus lives in the throat. So drink lots of water so the virus is pushed into the stomach where the acid will kill it. Wrong. The virus may gain entry via throat but it penetrates into the host cells. You can’t wash it away. Myth Number 5: All this social distancing is an overreaction. You’ll see that the virus won’t cause much damage. Are you even in your senses? Well look at us now, the World Health Organization has declared many deaths around the world and the toll is still rising day by day. Do you still think social distancing is an overreaction? Myth number 6: Car accidents kill 30,000 people annually. What’s the big deal with COVID-19, right? Car accidents are not contagious, their fatalities don’t double every three days. That’s actually the opposite in case of corona. Myth number 7: Hand sanitizers are better than soap and water. Wrong. Soap and water actually kill and wash away the virus from the skin plus it also cleans visible soiling if hands. Myth number 8: One of the best strategies to prevent COVID-19 is to clean every doorknob in your home with disinfectants. Wrong. Hand washing and maintaining 6ft distance is best practice. Unless you’re caring for a COVID-19 patient at home, your home surfaces should not be a big risk. Myth number 9: COVID-19 was deliberately spread by the American or Chinese military. Well, this is a global disease. Don’t make it sound like propaganda to start another world war. Myth number 10: New coronavirus affects older people more than the young ones. Actually, People of all ages can be infected by the new coronavirus. WHO advises people of all ages to take steps to protect themselves from the virus. Myth number 11: Spraying alcohol or chlorine all over your body will kill the new coronavirus. No. Spraying alcohol or chlorine all over your body will not kill viruses that have already entered your body. Be aware that both alcohol and chlorine can be useful to disinfect surfaces, but they need to be used under appropriate recommendations. Myth number 12: Wearing a mask can protect you against coronavirus. That's not exacty true. But a patient of coronavirus wearing a mask will surely save a lot of people from getting infected.
