As coronavirus spreads, information is coming at us even more rapidly than it usually does. Here's how to make sure you're only sharing facts
Photo: Facebook, Twitter As the number of coronavirus cases in the United States spreads quickly and we’re all being encouraged to practice social distancing, there is another type of good behavior we can all implement right away to protect each other: Do not spread coronavirus lies.
The lack of national leadership on coronavirus containment is by now well-documented. That makes it all the more important to practice good sharing behavior and take a breath before you spread a rumor, because people are really confused and scared right now, and for good reason. That’s also why bad actors could take advantage and, whether to be truly sinister or just mess with people, create fake information specifically designed to go viral. 1. Consider your source.
2. Even if you trust them, ask, “Hey, where did you get this?” before you send something around. Another message that went around New York today was a story about someone having lunch with Mike Bloomberg’s daughter Emma Bloomberg, who somehow also knew about the impending New York quarantine . The message apparently came from someone telling their co-workers about it in a Slack channel.
