What do you think of these rumors during the epidemic?

With the recent epidemic in many places, false remarks have taken the opportunity to appear, leaving many people in panic.

In these rumors, you can see the most colorful nonsense in the world, and you can also see the absurdity of Yoneda. (That is, krypton gold - five colors)

It is like a different world around you.

01.

When netizens focused their attention on Shaanxi, some people wrote seriously inaccurate text in the news regarding issues such as queuing for nucleic acid tests:

"More than half of the confirmed people in Xi'an were infected during the nucleic acid testing process"

And rumors were spread in the WeChat group:

"More than 800 people in the apartment were quarantined in the Dingbian Desert ”

Some people made up a notice based on the situation of entering and exiting the community:

“Police officers are conducting strict inspections and arrests of people wandering around the city’s major streets”

After the outbreak, the local caravans in Fengyang County spontaneously raised materials to donate to the community. Some people turned this incident into a rumor:

"Danfeng County, Shangluo City has restricted travel due to epidemic prevention and control. Vehicles and mules and horses were used to transport supplies."

This rumor was also compiled into a story about Xi'an.

These are all standard lies, making people think that other people’s lives are terrible and that they are heading towards despair.

The subtext is also obvious, which is to imply the city’s inaction and disorderly behavior.

In order to strengthen the effect of empathy, the rumormongers turned the perspective back to themselves to express their opinions.

Someone provoked confrontation and published rumors:

"The third batch of supplies has been received" (deliberately falsely marking the location as the Provincial Government Family Home)

Someone deliberately slandered and published rumors:

“We have been locked up at home for almost 20 days, and we have only received vegetables once, 2 potatoes, 2 onions, a cabbage, 2 white radishes... Excuse me What shall we eat... Are we going to starve to death at home?”

In fact, her family has no problem with food and drink at all.

These extreme accusations against the quality of urban management always gain traffic attention.

While they try to make people think that the city is in trouble, some people are stealing the benefits, so the city is getting worse and worse.

Let me ask, who wouldn’t get angry after seeing this?

If we focus more deeply on the lives of ordinary people, it will be more conducive to cathartic atmosphere.

In a WeChat account called "Huxian Bun Shop", the two parties had a dispute. At this time, someone insulted the customer as a pig, and another person took the opportunity to make up a rumor:

" (Momo) prices will rise uniformly the day after tomorrow”

When Xi’an citizens were anxious to buy electricity, a rumor began to spread:

“Xi’an’s electricity sales system is shut down for maintenance and cannot purchase electricity”< /p>

The more detailed the rumors about food, clothing, housing and transportation, the better, and the more likely it is to make people think that danger is only three centimeters away from them.

Of course, there is no need for a long speech at this time.

A public account wrote an article "The Sorrow of Xi'an People: Why do some people flee Xi'an even if they break the law and risk their lives?" ", the article spread false news:

"The cost of quarantine in Xi'an is at least 5,000 yuan", "a direct and brutal shutdown of the medical system", "ordinary community residents have no food to eat"

It is speculated that , the article may have been read by millions, so when the rumor was debunked, the author himself still took a chance.

He admitted to spreading rumors and left a message to apologize, but he must wait until 24 hours after publishing to delete it in order to further increase his exposure.

Later this article was deleted and this official account could not be found.

All of these can be explained that the rumors that emerged during the Xi'an epidemic are precisely to make ill-gotten gains by taking advantage of everyone's anxiety.

Most of the details of the incident were ignored or simplified, leaving only a golden sentence.

And the people touched by the words are further away from the truth.

02.

In addition to Shaanxi, other places have also begun to be targeted by rumormongers.

"More than 20 people in Ziyang Community, Hangzhou were infected with the new crown"

"A Spanish athlete who was positive for the new crown entered Beijing and visited Sanlitun"

"(Baoding) Qingyuan District Nanhou Village has been closed due to the epidemic."

These rumors are often spread in the format of "there is an example" and go hand in hand with the closure of villages and communities.

If you don’t believe me, look at the more common “norms”:

”Huangcun was sealed off, and one of them fled back to the hiding mountain.” “A positive patient was found in Gexi Village, and now the whole village is under quarantine. After doing a nucleic acid test, they said the village will be closed down immediately."

"There is also a case in Bodi (Beilun)."

Some people use themselves as the eye-catching case.

A migrant worker who had just completed a nucleic acid test downloaded the image gallery and modified the nucleic acid report. He posted it on his WeChat Moments and friends and family groups, and used it to scare his landlord. This rumor goes like this:

"I, the nucleic acid test result is positive"

To sum up, we can see that the groups of relatives and friends and community owners are where the rumors gather.

At the same time, it can be seen that they do not seek the terror of quantity. Sometimes the deterrent effect brought by "there has been one case" is enough for people to forward it casually.

Because the danger is within reach, the danger’s personal statements, and the danger’s simple style are enough to undermine people’s confidence.

The question is, whose head is this danger more terrifying?

Students who are kind, well-protected, inexperienced, and involve several generations of their families are good examples.

One rumor is:

"Notification of return to school for students with good nucleic acid screening results from Tianjin Dongli District Education Bureau"

Another rumor is:< /p>

"A confirmed case of COVID-19 occurred in Jinhua Vocational and Technical College"

There have been many rumors before, including about students in Xi'an.

Cao fictionalized a normal video of non-local students after school as:

"Students from a school in Xi'an were transferred to Qinling for isolation"

There are many more.

Careful readers must have noticed the word "notification" in the picture above.

Indeed, sometimes in order to appear to be something like that, you have to create documents. After all, "notices" and "announcements" can be fooled everywhere.

However, discerning people will stamp a major element of the so-called truth - a red seal.

"Wenzhou Zhantai Optical Factory has found a confirmed case of new coronavirus. Please do not go to the Wutian Industrial Zone (Panfeng). In order to go home smoothly during the holiday, everyone must abide by this."

There are still rumors like this in the style of documents.

Some WeChat groups are spreading the so-called latest requirements for Shenzhen’s epidemic prevention:

“Starting tomorrow (Saturday), all employees in the city will undergo nucleic acid testing.” “The city has entered a battle to prevent and control the epidemic. Current status. "All residents who go out must have a 48-hour nucleic acid test certificate."

This is where the rumors come from.

Of course, in order to better confuse people, when you say something like that, you have to bring celebrity effect.

Our Dr. Zhang Wenhong is often targeted by rumormongers.

Some people added fuel to the fire about the epidemic in Shanghai, and finally changed it into a "weird story":

"She visited a fruit shop and Hang Lung LV, so they were both closed today. . They also live in the same building as Zhang Wenhong, so today Zhang Wenhong is also quarantined at home."

It is full of imagination.

I just want to be a screenwriter and make science fiction films.

03.

However, the rumor market is so big that it must be a mixed bag.

You cannot require every rumor maker to be "highly sophisticated". Some people have no skills and are not very interested.

For example, old news is refried.

A rumor:

"Chengdu urgently reserves 30,000 beds to deal with the epidemic"

Old jokes like this are the result of repeated hype, and they are as far back as The dates are backdated to June 24, 2020.

A rumor:

"Completely dismantling the team ||Gaoling District"

It is similar. The content of this information is a tampered one released in February 2020. notify.

For example, it is pieced together.

The Shenzhen Health Commission wrote an article that introduced the content of a notice in Shangyu, Zhejiang. This part of the content was distorted into:

"(Shenzhen) found "Yellow code" and "red code" personnel will give cash rewards"

The actual original text is like this.

In other words, the rumormongers spread the news about Shangyu in Shaoxing to Shenzhen.

Another example is ignoring official clarification.

The location of the video of mother and son falling from a building in Xingping City, Xianyang, was changed to Xi'an, and it was said that the husband committed the crime:

"The man threw his wife and baby from the 15th floor "Go down"

News reports repeatedly quoted the Xingping police statement: "The mother and son who fell from the building were not thrown down by her husband, and the incident had nothing to do with the man."

The letter. The rumor makers naturally didn't believe this, and they still spread the rumors wildly, seeming to challenge the investigation results from multiple angles.

Although the technical content of these rumors is not very high, the effect is obviously not bad.

It can be seen that originality is not necessarily popular in the rumor industry.

So, if you can blend memes, the rumors you create may also quickly and effectively affect the lives of normal people.

Just be simple and crude.

It doesn’t matter if it’s very pornographic or violent.

04.

No, yellow rumors related to human hormones will definitely make waves.

Also, please don’t make things confusing, the more chaotic the better.

Some people are spreading the so-called breakdown of the transmission chain of confirmed cases:

"A female nurse in an outpatient department had a close relationship with an employee of an isolation hotel and a teacher of a university, which led to the spread of the new coronavirus epidemic. "

Huashang Daily clarified that this decomposition diagram of the transmission chain of confirmed cases is not original, and the "there is a lover relationship between the cases" marked on the diagram is a rumor.

The opposite of female "coquettishness" is often male "whoring". < /p>

“(Yuelu District, Changsha, Hunan) A man engaged in prostitution and caused many people to be infected with the new crown”. ,

"A man with a confirmed case went to Hongding International in Jiangbei District, Chongqing to solicit prostitution, which led to the building being closed down."

The so-called parties involved in rumors are often fun-loving people. This can make the parties involved appear ridiculous and contrast with the innocence of ordinary people.

“Fun” means many things.

Many people will chuckle when they see such rumors, whether they believe it or not.

It seems that as people who have experienced it, they have to admire the strong physique of the person involved.

05.

At this time, we cannot blame the truth for being slow to come out, causing some victims of online violence to be extremely hurt.

A study published in the journal Science may explain one reason.

They collected data on Twitter from 2006 to 2018, selected 126,000 news tweets, and analyzed them. The results showed:

Even the most popular truth News is rarely delivered to more than 1,000 Twitter users, but false news can often be delivered to 1,000 or even 10,000 people.

Furthermore, false content is delivered to 1,500 people 6 times faster than real content is delivered to 1,500 people. Moreover, the likelihood of forwarding false news for the first time is 70% higher than true information.

Rumors naturally spread faster and harder than truth.

Going back to the source, one reason is the helplessness and panic of individuals in the face of the big era.

Individuals are increasingly trapped in loneliness, and become more helpless and confused in the reality of disorderly interaction.

Then people will look for various antidotes.

They tend to listen to whoever is closest to them and who can best arouse their emotions.

Some are objective, some are subjective, some are legal, some are illegal, and many, many more.

This is how Feng Shui superstition can make waves again, how many years Chicken Soup for the Soul can occupy the market, and the same is true for rumors.

For example, an understatement of humorous rumors at this time will surely ease all emotions, neutralize all positions, and make people laugh out loud.

Please see a screenshot of a text message circulating on the Internet labeled Xi'an Mental Health Center:

"During the quarantine, if you chat with flowers, plants and trees, it is normal. There is no need to call for consultation. Only It's only when the trees and flowers start to answer your questions that it becomes necessary to ask for help."

It's kind of funny, but it's also solid misinformation.

While laughing, it can be seen that rumors are so bizarre and endless.

Of course we are not helpless at this time.

Such administrative detention.

Like this.

Like this.

The rumors were refuted very promptly.

The white text on the blue background is really enjoyable to read.

Finally, I still hope that the information to refute the rumors can reach those who need it.

After all, the truth can make people live more comfortably.

Finally, birds of a feather flock together and people form groups. Contact with better people can also make you become the same person. Welcome to follow the official account: Gray Production Circle
