Stop fake social media during coronavirus

At times like these, you wish social media was not this widespread. 

Considering my profession, I am all in favor of digital and social, in fact, I have been an evangelist of the medium ever since digital was only about website.

But in this age of data deluge and information overload, at times I wish we knew less.

As the coronavirus is spreading across the world, so is the misinformation about it. Despite many practical and aggressive efforts by prominent social media channels, the speed at which the information and misinformation are spreading is unimaginable. 

From baseless magic cures to erroneous statistics, the virtual world is flooded with coronavirus updates from many unauthorized sources.
