Over the past hours, social media has spread across the Arab world, false statements attributed to Italian doctors saying that the new Corona is not a virus but a bacterium that causes death by blood clotting.
And the text of the following statement came: “We were deceived by global health … Italy: Corona is nothing but blood clots.”
The circulation of this misinformation was not limited to the pioneers of social networking sites only, but was addressed by a number of Arab media, led by the Lebanese “OTV” channel of President Michel Aoun.
And the Lebanese channel said: “Italian doctors violated the WHO law by preventing the autopsy of the dead people from the Corona virus, and then they discovered that it is not a virus, but the bacteria that cause death and the formation of blood clots.”
She added: “The method of treatment is antibiotics and anti-inflammatory and anticoagulants,” referring to these doctors that “this disease has been treated poorly” in the world, and that “there was never a need for ventilation devices and the intensive care unit.”

“The whole world should know that we have been deceived and humiliated by the World Health Organization,” the channel added.
For its part, the French News Agency’s Investigation Blog confirmed that this news is false and unfounded, and that all information contained therein is misleading.
She pointed out that Covid 19 disease is caused by the emerging coronavirus, not bacteria, as reported in the misleading news. According to the World Health Organization, this strain of viruses in humans causes respiratory diseases, the severity of which ranges from common colds to more severe diseases such as the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). Mears) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the last of which is Covid 19.
A study published in the prestigious British medical journal The Lancet indicates that “respiratory failure is the main cause of deaths associated with Covid 19” and not blood clots as claimed by the false news.
Corona causes blood clots?
As for the virus that caused blood to clot, Agence France Presse reported that this misleading news drew some information from a preliminary study published on a platform on April 22, and in its details that medical centers in Bergamo and Milan have dissected the bodies of 38 of those infected with Coved 19, and revealed clotting cases In the blood of 33 of them.
The authors of this preliminary study concluded that blood clotting is a complication of Pneumonia caused by Covid 19, and they recommended the use of anticoagulants to treat clotting, “although its effectiveness and safety have not yet been proven.”
Studies conducted later (in France, the Netherlands, Ireland, and others) also revealed the presence of blood clots in the deceased due to the new corona virus, and these studies do not say that pneumonia is a “diagnostic error” as the misleading news suggests, but rather explain that the sufferers may suffer from pneumonia and blood clots. At the same time.
treatment
With regard to treatment, the agency stressed that antibiotics are not effective against viruses, but are used to combat bacterial infection. As for the origin of Covid-19 disease, it is viral and therefore antibiotics do not help in combating it, according to all reliable scientific studies and research in the world.
According to the World Health Organization, antibiotics should not be used as a means to prevent or treat Covid-19 disease, but hospital doctors may prescribe antibiotics to patients with severe covid-19 complications to treat or prevent secondary bacterial infection.
There is still no specific vaccine or antiviral medication to prevent or treat Covid-19 disease.
