NSWI like this quote from WHO’s DR Tedros that was in a news article this morning:
“We’re not just fighting an epidemic, we’re fighting an infodemic,” World Health Organization (WHO) director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during an address at the Munich Security conference. “Fake news spreads faster and more easily than this virus, and is just as dangerous.”
Very nice phraseology and a useful message to us all!
Cheers

Hi Michael,
Thank you for sharing this.
It is so important to hear at this time. We are certainly coming across a
lot of mis-information and opportunistic entities trying to capitalise on
what is a terrible situation while our health professionals are working so
hard to protect and assist.With Kind Regards
Ana Robinson
