CHINA MANUFACTURED COVID-19
There has been much speculation that the virus was designed in a Wuhan laboratory and while the origin of COVID-19 isn't entirely certain, there is no real data to support this myth. The virus has been linked to a live animal market in Wuhan, China and was most likely passed to a human either directly through a bat or through another animal that had previously come into contact with a bat positive for the virus. The latter is more likely considering that the species of bat known to carry COVID-19 lives over 1,000 miles away from the location of the initial outbreak. Many researchers have also concluded that the virus does not appear to be human produced based on it's composition.
IRAN HAS DEVELOPED A VACCINE FOR COVID-19 BUT WILL NOT SHARE IT
People had falsely reported that methanol was found to be a successful cure for COVID-19. Ironically, the only thing that this "cure" did was lead to more deaths by way of causing alcohol poisoning in those that believed the reports.
CHINA SUPPORTS 5G NETWORKS BECAUSE RADIO WAVES CAUSE COVID-19 AND CHINA WANTS IT TO SPREAD
COVID-19 is spreading in many countries around the world that do not even have 5G networks. Viruses cannot travel through radio waves or mobile networks. COVID-19 is spread through respiratory droplets. China is simply one of the leading countries in terms of technological development and is playing a role in the development of the newest/fastest mobile networks - 5G. China has been doing it's part to stop the spread of COVID-19 and does not want to see it contaminate more people.
CHINA IS UNDER-REPORTING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TESTING POSITIVE
While it is possible that the China is under-reporting, it is also possible, since China has implemented such strict no-contact policies and had the largest head start on managing the virus, that the country has truly managed to dramatically slow the spread of COVID-19. In response to the idea that China is under-reporting, Chinese officials have assured people that the low numbers are simply a result of effectively managing the virus and that people should look at the numbers with optimism instead of skepticism.
COVID-19 CAME FROM THE MIDDLE EAST
Appearing in 2012, MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) killed a great number of people in the Middle East. While COVID-19 and MERS are both part of the Coronavirus family, they are completely unrelated. MERSÂ did not develop into COVID-19 and did not play a role in the current pandemic.
PEOPLE OF CHINESE DESCENT SHOULD BE AVOIDED
While it is recommended that we distance ourselves from others as much as possible, specifically avoiding Chinese people simply because COVID-19 originated in China encourages racial discrimination. Being of Chinese descent does not make anyone more or less likely to have or spread COVID-19.
