War versus ‘infodemic’

Editorial cartoon by Dennis Gasgonia, ABS-CBN News
Posted at Feb 18, 2020, 09:22 PM

In the time of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), fake news about the disease is
doing as much harm as the disease. There's fake news about hospitals and areas having
patients with the virus even though they have none; there's fake news about the virus
which only survives in cold weather (ergo, not in tropical countries); there's fake news
about herbal medicines that can fight the virus.
Fake news and unfounded fears have caused so much panic that some medical
goods — N95 masks, surgical masks, alcohol — are now in short supply for those who
need them most, such as doctors and nurses.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and Health Secretary Francisco Duque
have called this an "infodemic." WHO has called on tech giants, such as Facebook, to
help curb the spread of fake news, especially since fake news usually spreads faster than
reliable news.
The public is advised to double-check its sources of information and rely on
news that comes from the health department, health experts, the WHO, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, and others in the medical community. Like and share
only news from these sources.
Let's all help in this war against “infodemic”.

46. What is the editorial text all about?

A. It is all about being hopeless amidst the pandemic.

B. It is all about kinds of diseases.
C. It is all about the new normal in education.
D.. It is all about the spread of fake news on spread of COVID 19.

47. What medical goods have shortages as of now?

A. band aid and thermometer

B. N95 masks, surgical masks, alcohol
C. tooth paste and sunscreen
D. vitamins and pain reliever

48. What advice does the writer want to convey to the public?
A. to buy more N95 masks, surgical masks, alcohol
B. to double-check sources of information and rely on news that come from the health
department, health experts, the WHO, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
C. to panic
D. to spread fake news
49. What do you think is the purpose of the writer?
A. to criticize the government
B. to entertain the people
C. to give information and warning to the public
D. to resist change

50. Do you agree with the title of the editorial text? Why or why not?
