Medical rumors

"Smoking and fireworks can prevent pneumonia"

In January 2020, a screenshot of a WeChat circle of friends was circulated on social media. The text of the screenshot claimed that after smoking cigarettes, cigarette oil covered the surface of the lungs, which could prevent the virus from attaching to and entering human cells, and claimed that the relevant content was in the 2003 SARS incident Confirmed [556] . This is a rumor that has been popular since the SARS incident in 2003 . The Hong Kong Department of Health has rumored that smoking can reduce the body's resistance. Repeated contact with the nose and mouth when smoking causes the virus to sneak in, and you cannot wear a mask to increase protection when smoking. At the same time, there is no data to support the fact that “no smokers died because of SARS” .

"Indoor vinegar can prevent pneumonia"

Indoor boiled vinegar SARS (SARS) spread during a sterilization method, commonly used as a disinfectant in fact SARS is peracetic acid , mainly by peroxy of oxidation , instead of acetic acid . 

"Vitamin C boosts immunity"

In fact, vitamin C can help the body maintain normal immune function, but it cannot enhance immunity and has no antiviral effect. In the treatment of diseases, intake of vitamin C is usually only a supplementary treatment. 

"OC43 virus"

A speech circulating on the Internet purporting to come from Professor Yuan Guoyong of the University of Hong Kong , referring to the virus as OC43 virus. Yuan Guoyong denied that it was related to the article and clarified that the new coronavirus is not OC43.

Unofficially you have video from a hospital in Wuhan showing a bunch of dead bodies on the floor, mixed with crowds of patients, which may suggest “41 deaths” is not the true figure.

Where are the cranes for this rushed construction? Maybe they just haven't arrived yet.
