Like the story, a man was busy spreading in his community that "poor blacks are immune to the virus, that God almighty created the virus for the rich and white people"
Imagine what this Dicker story will cause to this community
More rumors, (let's call them stories)
Is the story saying that "Covid-19 wasn't a virus but a bacterial or the rumor of "covid-19 being the Government's control test carried out world wide".
Well the main problem is what this rumors will create in the world.
Mostly, in some African countries there is recently totally no contact avoidance (social distancing) observed in some places, and low prevention methods carried out by individual, everyone goes about his or her own daily business. The only thing here is just the Government's lock down rule.
The disaster this rumors, will create especially in most undeveloped countries will be uncontrollable If God doesn't intervane.
What the heck is actually happening to this world ?
I once read some articles online and later found out the are not true, I immediately said in my mind "wow there is official and unofficial rumors, because the site was one of the trusted and reliable site in passing valid information.
I will ask you one question now.
Did you ever think that rapid increase and death broadcasted wasn't true?
Yes, I did think of that especially in my area, when the said that a certain amount of people where infected but it is a small community, and the community members didn't see anyone among them been taken to the isolation center. The question is where is this media getting the there information?
Only that incident made me believe that the numbers wasn't real.
