Answer 2

Practical strategies we could abide to prevent ourself from spreading fake news about a life threatening disease such as covid-19

Explanation:

• It is the responsibility of everyone to slow the disease spread. All actions are important. This is also the case for mitigating misinformation, which influences the quality of reporting, the mixture of facts, rumors and false news
• Internet users who upload memes, videos or photographs about the virus are often sharing wrong information though it is in the absence of any malicious intentions. There is a risk that people will feel frightened and confused. People are no longer able to trust others and are becoming vulnerable to  cybercrime & manipulation.
• However, it is everybody's duty to work against misinformation in the infodemic. We should also reduce its reach without attempting to demystify any fake news.
• For example, spreading news about the pandemic through social media, simple gestures such as sharing credible information will expose us less to the dangers of the "infodemic". Be critical when looking at social media. Do not leave false information in the online networks, and when in doubt, take the time to "verify" the "shared information".
