4 Coronavirus Myths Debunked The World Health Organization has called the spread of coronavirus misinformation an "infodemic." Myth 1: Coronavirus is manmade. Just like SARS, the virus likely originated in bats and was transmitted to people. Myth 2: Home remedies can cure or prevent the virus. Garlic, vitamin C and essential oils will not prevent or cure the virus, as there is currently no vaccine. Myth 3: Black people
don't get coronavirus. Anyone can get coronavirus, and it is quickly spreading in Africa. Myth 4: Heat can kill the virus. There is no evidence
that heat can kill the virus.
