Myth vs. Fact
MYTH: The coronavirus was created and unleashed intentionally by people
FACT: It is likely that the Coronavirus was present in animals, mutated, and passed to humans. This happens with many viruses and diseases
MYTH: Hydroxychloroquine will prevent or treat COVID-19
FACT: It is still too soon to tell which new or existing medicine will be curative or preventative. However, in cases of people with heart disease and hypertension, hydroxychloroquine makes COVID worse
MYTH: You can kill the virus by drinking Clorox, gargling salt water & vinegar, or laying in the sun
FACT: Once infected, the virus cannot be killed without medical treatment – which is still being studied
MYTH: COVID is just like the flu
FACT: COVID is deadlier than flu. It also has no vaccine or definitive treatment and is still not fully understood
