CCTV News:According to WeChat official account, a "friend circle rumor" that "XBB.1.5 attacks cardiovascular disease and diarrhea" was widely spread after being shot, which made montmorillonite out of stock overnight. Related rumors have changed again. A group chat message in a circle of friends said that there were cases of XBB.1.5 infection in Shanghai and Beijing, "incontinence", calling on everyone to hoard diapers. Shanghai rumor platform received a message from netizens, hoping to check it.
There is no need to hoard diapers and antidiarrheal drugs.
According to the report of the Shanghai working group on epidemic prevention and control, Omicron BQ.1 and XBB strains found in Shanghai are only detected among a very small number of entry quarantine personnel.It has not yet caused local communication in society.
For the clinical symptoms that may be caused by XBB.1.5, China CDC introduced that all variants in Covid-19, including XBB series variants, will infect intestinal mucosal cells, butWhether there are intestinal clinical symptoms is related to individual differences.As for the evolution branch of XBB.1.5, which has attracted much attention recently,There is no evidence that it is more likely to cause severe diarrhea or other clinical manifestations of gastrointestinal tract than other strains.
Professor Fang Bangjiang, director of the three departments and five wards of Thunder God Mountain hospital Infection, head of the expert group of traditional Chinese medicine in Fangcang Hospital of Shanghai New International Expo Center and director of the Institute of Critical Care of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, also said in an interview with Health Times that "XBB.1.5′ s main clinical symptoms include dyspnea, headache, sore throat, stuffy nose, general pain, fatigue and fever.It is almost consistent with the symptoms such as BF.7 that are popular in China at present."Visible, not only diapers don’t need to hoard, montmorillonite powder and other antidiarrheal drugs don’t need to hoard blindly.
In the research and investigation of foreign authoritative organizations, there is no conclusion that XBB.1.5 will cause severe diarrhea. For details, please refer to "XBB strain detected in Shanghai, how to prevent it?" Read one! Beware of someone borrowing new strains to promote sales.
For possible diarrhea symptoms, there are many antidiarrheal drugs for symptomatic treatment, including traditional Chinese medicine decoction and Chinese patent medicine with the function of eliminating dampness and antidiarrheal, such asHuoxiang Zhengqi Water and Tongxiening GranulesWait. These drugs not only have antidiarrheal effects, but also have the functions of strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach. Fang Bangjiang said that common "viral colds" in clinic can also cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea."Gastrointestinal cold" symptoms, this is a normal pathological reflection, don’t panic, don’t worry.

Where do the symptoms that the authorities have not said come from?
Where do the "symptoms" such as "diarrhea" and "incontinence" spread by the virus strain XBB.1.5 come from?
Tracing back to the source of Shanghai rumor platform, it is found that most of these "symptoms" come from the speculation of friends circle or group chat, and the speakers are not authoritative organizations and professional doctors, and the forwarders are not from authoritative organizations or professionals.
For example, the party who said in a circle of friends that "XBB.1.5 will attack cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cause diarrhea and lead to montmorillonite being out of stock overnight" admitted in an interview with the media that "all the contents of the circle of friends were obtained by my own search and summarized by myself, butFocus on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diarrhea, and forget the source afterwards.So I sent a second circle of friends to explain. "
However, regardless of "forgetting the source" or "no source", the netizen spread all wrong information, which eventually led to misunderstanding due to wide spread.
Similarly, the recent group chat record of "incontinence caused by XBB.1.5 infection" can’t stand scrutiny: the chat object is not clear, and it is impossible to judge the identity of the chat person; The chat said that someone was infected in Beijing, but there was no specific information such as the patient, the place, and whether it was really infected with XBB.1.5 In short, it is impossible to judge whether the relevant content is true or not only from the chat records. However, this "headless and brainless" message was forwarded again.
Judging from the recent rumors about the epidemic, irresponsible remarks and random forwarding without discrimination are the important reasons for the frequent rumors. In order to gain attention,Fabricating identities, fabricating events,For example, a netizen made up his identity and claimed to be a doctor of virology and was infected with two different strains within 5 days; There are also some netizens who watch the excitement and "don’t care too much" and deliberately intercept those irresponsible or unreliable speech dissemination.
All in all,At present, all the remarks about "infection with XBB.1.5 will cause severe diarrhea" come from some netizens’ speculation or deliberate fabrication.In addition, some netizens don’t understand the situation, and when news spread from one word to another, the ridiculous phenomenon of "montmorillonite is out of stock" and "hoarding diapers" appeared. The Shanghai rumor platform specifically reminds that at present, many parties have rumored this topic, and hope that the public will stop believing and spreading information that is out of thin air and exaggerated.
Chatting with friends and groups should not be too casual.
The internet is not illegal, and publishing and spreading irresponsible remarks may bear legal responsibility.
The party who said in a circle of friends that "XBB.1.5 will attack cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cause diarrhea" said in an interview with the media that he had made a transcript at the local police station. However, because he only posted the relevant remarks in the circle of friends and did not actively spread them to public platforms such as WeChat group and Weibo, the police only criticized him.
"No active communication" exempted the netizen from administrative punishment. However, not all irresponsible remarks can be exempted from punishment.For example, the netizen who fabricated "Dr. Virology was infected with two different strains in five days" was sentenced to administrative detention by the public security organs according to law.
Relevant laws clarify the legal responsibilities for publishing false information in various social platforms and group chats. For example, Article 25 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law mentions that,Spreading rumors, falsely reporting dangerous situations, epidemic situations and police situations or intentionally disturbing public order by other means., detained from 5 to 10 days, and imposed a fine of less than 500 yuan; If the circumstances are minor, they shall be detained for less than 5 days or fined for less than 500 yuan. Article 291 of the Criminal Law mentions"Crime of fabricating and intentionally spreading false information"Clearly, whoever fabricates false dangers, epidemics, disasters and police situations and spreads them on information networks or other media, or knowingly and intentionally spreads them on information networks or other media, thus seriously disrupting social order, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance; If serious consequences are caused, they shall be sentenced to 3 to 7 years in prison.
Among the rumors related to the epidemic, many individuals were spread by screen shots after chatting in groups or posting in social spaces such as friends circle. It can be seen that social platforms are not private spaces.All of them have a certain public nature.What’s more, when most people publish information on social platforms, they will not declare that it is forbidden to spread, which means that relevant information will be spread again. Similarly, in group chats, especially those with a large number of people who don’t necessarily know each other, any person’s speech may be spread outside the group by screen capture, and it is not excluded to be taken out of context during the screen capture process.
It can be seen that publishing unconfirmed and personal guesses on social platforms may have a negative impact. Therefore, it is suggested that netizens should not be too casual when speaking on social platforms or groups, let alone publish unconfirmed news that is purely personal speculation, so as to avoid "rumors".
