A video about the new SARS coronavirus is currently circulating on platforms like YouTube. Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that not all the information presented in it is accurate. Let’s take a closer look.

False Claims in the YouTube Video

In a video that has since been removed from YouTube, it was claimed that the government and media are covering up the new SARS virus. However, this is not true, as information about the coronavirus has already been published in several media sources. Additionally, the origin of the clips shown in the video is questionable, as it gives the impression that all footage comes from Wuhan, which is not accurate. Various fact-checkers have already confirmed that some of the video's content comes from other sources.

Regardless of the accuracy of the YouTube video, caution should still be exercised, as the coronavirus could indeed pose a serious threat, as we’ve learned from reports by health authorities. If the virus spreads as quickly as claimed in the video, we may all eventually feel the impact unless containment measures are swiftly implemented.

Closing Words

It has been officially confirmed that not all the information in the currently circulating video is correct. However, it is certain that a novel SARS virus is currently circulating, and efforts are being made to contain the situation in Wuhan. The outcome of the situation remains intriguing.
