 Misinformation about the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic

Elmhurst Hospital Center in New York City, where doctors treated a patient who had consumed a bleach mixture after reading about it online.

      Although the COVID-19 pandemic has passed for 4 years and has been controlled by countries worldwide, it has not completely disappeared and transformed to adapt to the present. We have taken preventive measures to prevent it, not causing too much damage to the body and the country's economy like 4 years ago. But somewhere in the US, some people still believe in false information about COVID-19 online because doctors give false information, which leads to many different consequences. It creates more pressure on doctors treating patients and raises concerns about expertise and public health.

Doctors give false information about covid 19

     As of January 18, 2023, the number of deaths caused by COVID-19 coronavirus is 1.1 million people in the United States. And it is worth noting that about 1/3 of those deaths were preventable if public health recommendations such as vaccination and social distancing were followed. However many of them do not believe the recommendations and think that they are not real and are believed to be created for political purposes rather than science.
52 US doctors who posted potentially harmful COVID misinformation online.

     They have also spread misinformation about vaccines to prevent COVID-19 and about the effectiveness of face masks in preventing the virus. Other unproven claims have been made about topics such as the origins of SARS-CoV-2, government cover-ups, pharmaceutical companies’ profit motives, and other conspiracy theories. Many posts are based on patient anecdotes and data from poor-quality medical journals and exaggerate facts such as permanent damage to the immune system, increased risk of chronic diseases in children, and risk of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle). All of this has contributed to distrust of vaccines and a refusal to take basic coronavirus precautions.



     Although the COVID pandemic is over, its consequences are still there and continuing. It can be said that although there are only a small number of people who do not believe in the recommendations of the state and doctors, causing false information to spread and making it difficult for everyone. But we have overcome and won the pandemic, we need to be united in the future and need to accurately check the information on the network to protect our health and the community.

 MY HOBBY IN FRIDAY EVERY WEEK      Every Friday, when I finish my homework, I visit Value Village to shop for household items I need. This is a place you should visit once because every Friday, they bring out new items (mostly Amazon items), and what I like about Value Village is that all the items you want to buy are priced at $8. Value Village      If you want to buy a camera but it is too expensive for your budget? Do you want to buy a vacuum cleaner, fly cam,...... but when you search online it is too costly? Try going to Value Village, you can find what you want. What I like and dislike about value is that the items are very random. Every friday week, they will display new items, and what I like is that it has a lot of items like shoes, clothes, and electronics, but that is also a certain difficulty because there are weeks when you will find a lot of things you need, but maybe not because it is very random. Website Value Village     ...

    Effect playing, listening to music       With me, when I have free time, I have many things to entertain and enjoy free time like playing games, driving hanging out, and watching movies........ But I will choose an activity that will be most useful to me: listening to and playing music.       Music is an art to express our feelings. It includes two types of music and instrumental music. It can be said that music has always been associated with our lives from ancient times to the present day. We always believe that music brings laughter, joy, and relaxation after tiring working hours and it also helps improve our health and nervous system.  In my experience, whenever I study or have something that makes me stressed and angry, my mother often tells me that after those hours I should play music, and that works. I almost forget the tiredness and stress are gone even though my arms will be tired after playing music but I am so h...
