Refusing rumors that a community in Shanghai is rehearsing for unblocking. Why are rumors spreading amid the epidemic?

I think it’s because many people want to gain attention through the epidemic in order to obtain benefits or achieve their own ulterior motives. According to our understanding, this incident happened on May 15. A video was circulated on the Internet. In the video, residents of a small community faced the camera and shouted: "We have unblocked". Later, relevant departments in Shanghai refuted the rumors and stated that the incident occurred in other provinces and was not in Shanghai.

Various rumors emerged during the epidemic in Shanghai, such as: an old man living alone ate an egg in three days during the epidemic?, and a Shanghai community withholding anti-epidemic gift packs from residents? These rumors were all caused during the epidemic. People pay attention. Why are there so many rumors during this special period? I think it's because someone wants to cause chaos. As the saying goes, "Kill people and kill hearts." Such an approach will cause people in the epidemic to become more panicked and even question the government's actions. Once the matter escalates, it will cause social disorder, so I think we must deal with such rumormongers seriously. Not only are heavy fines required, but administrative detention is also required. Only if it is dealt with seriously will those who are ready to act will shut up.

I think as ordinary people, we must have the ability to distinguish when faced with various opinions on the Internet. We might as well let these people's opinions fly for a few days, and then we can see whether they are right or wrong. Separate. We should not be led by the people who are interested in saying some inflammatory words on the Internet, and we should not believe in rumors, make rumors, or spread rumors. As a government department, I think we should manage online speech and deal with it promptly if we find someone spreading rumors to avoid causing chaos in the online environment.

In addition, the epidemic in Shanghai is still in a critical period. We should support the government's prevention and control measures and actively cooperate with relevant work, whether it is nucleic acid testing or home isolation. We hope that this wave of epidemic will pass soon and Shanghai can return to normal social order.
