Don't make yourself an accomplice to rumors

Compared with previous Spring Festival holidays, the motherland seems to be under pressure this year. Pause button & throughout; . A sudden epidemic, let the people have become a soldier, darling. Stuffy & throughout; At home, fight the virus together. People can control their own feet, but there are always some people can not control their own. Mouth & throughout; . Make your mouth a rumor. Legs & throughout; , became a rumor. An accomplice & throughout; With false information and help to do evil.

Rumors not only cause public panic, but also add to the burden of disease control efforts. From shuanghuanglian oral liquid can inhibit the new coronavirus, to zhong nanshan was infected; From drinking and smoking, which can reduce the chance of infection, to an outbreak in another area... To the already serious situation against the epidemic added resistance. On the one hand, such rumors will breed epidemic panic, lead people to ignore the scientific prevention and control of the epidemic, and may also affect the duration of the epidemic. On the other hand, health care workers on the front lines not only have to fight the virus, but also bear the negative consequences of the rumors and take the only rest time to clarify and refute the rumors.

With the return of the work tide after the festival, the railway, highway, aviation and other transportation departments also ushered in a new challenge. Take the railway as an example. In the early stage of the epidemic, we reduced the number of stopped trains to prevent and control the epidemic. In order to meet the needs of the workers, more trains are being opened one after another. When all departments made concerted efforts to combat the epidemic, rumors spread that it was not safe to take off masks when passing the railway and aviation security checks, and it was easy to get infected with the virus. Although officials have clarified that removing masks for a short period of time during security screening generally does not cause transmission, be careful to put them on as soon as possible. However, the spread of this false statement during the peak period of returning to the city not only easily caused panic among passengers, but also inadvertently planted the seeds of conflicts between security personnel and passengers. It is not only harmful to the safety of passengers, but also may disturb public order and hinder the smooth deployment of epidemic prevention and protection by transportation departments.

There have been many cases of malicious rumor spreading during the campaign against the epidemic. The force such as fine, punishment arrest is very big. Why does such deafening alarm not deter rumourmongers? There are no more than two reasons. On the one hand, there is a lack of correct scientific understanding of the epidemic. Therefore, it is necessary for relevant departments to intensify propaganda efforts and eliminate absurd rumors from the root cause. On the other hand, there is a lack of management in "we media" and social media, because the operation is simple to conceal the name of the sender and receiver, which greatly reduces people's sense of responsibility for their own speech. It is hoped that relevant departments will build a whole-chain, scientific and three-dimensional governance model for the Internet industry to reduce the breeding ground for rumors.

Although the rumor stops with the wise man, we can't rely on the wise man only. In this war for all, it is not only to be the epidemic. A three-kilometer & throughout; , but also to face the epidemic rumors rationally. In order to prevent and control the epidemic at an early date of victory, each of us must become a rumor terminator, rumor firewall.
