4 COVID-19 Myths and <br />Why You Shouldn’t Believe Them As the world continues to deal with <br />COVID-19, there seems to be an endless amount of <br />misinformation spreading just as fast as the virus. In order to help you stay educated,<br />here are four COVID-19 myths and<br />why you shouldn’t believe them. 1. COVID-19 is<br />being spread over<br />5G networks Despite what you may have heard, the WHO<br />can confirm that the coronavirus is not being<br />spread via technology and cellphone signals. In fact, COVID-19 is currently spreading in many<br />countries that don’t even have 5G mobile networks. 2. Consuming breast milk can<br />help prevent COVID-19 Dyan Hes, MD, founder of Gramercy Pediatrics, can<br />confirm that there is no need to purchase human<br />breast milk, as it does not help against the virus. 3. If you can hold your<br />breath for more than<br />10 seconds you don’t<br />have COVID-19 According to the WHO, this breathing exercise<br />will not confirm you don’t have the virus and<br />can even be potentially dangerous. The only way to absolutely<br />confirm whether you do<br />or don’t have COVID-19<br />is with a laboratory test. 4. You can get COVID-19 by<br />ordering things from China According to the CDC, you are less likely to get<br />the virus from surface-to-person contact in<br />comparison to person-to-person transmission. In addition, products do not pose more of a<br />risk simply because they're from China.
