There are many false medical claims saying things like smelling sesame or other plant oils, breathing in steam, or cleaning the nostrils with salty water will prevent COVID-19 from reaching your lungs. Many companies are also trying to profit from this crisis by advertising fake "medicines and cures" to help treat or kill COVID-19 entirely. As of August 2020 there is no vaccine for COVID-19. The World Health Organization (WHO) does not reommend any medicines to treat or cure. Even though a supposive cure might seem enticing you could find yourself seriously ill due to untested and unhealthy "medicines."
Face Mask Misconceptions
Just becuase you don't feel sick doesn't mean you aren't carrying the virus and can still spread the virus for up to 48 hours before you even start feeling any symptoms. Additionally, even if you are physically distancing yourself a mask is still nessasry because it protects you and others. Many argue wearing a mask causes dizziness, lightheadedness, and headaches, but in reality that's all in your head! Those feelings are likely due to dehydration so make sure to keep that water intake on the high!

With fake news and false information circling the internet everyday, one of the main questions is how COVID-19 came to be. Some have come under the impression that the "realese" of COVID-19 was some underground government operation or it was created deliberately. This is simply false. Viruses change cnstanly and an outbreak can happen when a virus common in animals mutates to be able to be passed to humans. Scientists believe that it what cuased the COVID-19 outbreak.
