Original title: The World Health Organization said there was a "mysterious pneumonia"?Rumors!
Recently, the Shanghai rumor refutation platform has received many messages from fans, asking whether the news that "the WHO announced that the virus currently circulating in China is 'mysterious pneumonia'" is true or false.
After verification, the World Health Organization (WHO) did not give a similar conclusion;At press conferences held on November 24, November 26 and December 2, the National Health Commission introduced the recent prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases, pointing outAccording to the surveillance, the current epidemic of acute respiratory diseases are all caused by known pathogens, all of which have corresponding mature methods, and no new infectious diseases caused by new viruses or bacteria have been found
The Shanghai Rumor Refutation Platform searched the official website of the World Health Organization, official Weibo, WeChat *** and other official information release channels, and did not find any information related to "mysterious pneumonia". An investigation into some of the rumours that the WHO released the information on 2 December revealed that the WHO's official account had not posted any information related to pneumonia or respiratory illness at that point in time.
Regarding recent respiratory diseases, Hu Qiangqiang, spokesman of the National Health Commission and deputy director of the Publicity Department, said at the meeting on November 24 that on November 23, the National Health Commission, the relevant departments and bureaus of the National Disease Control and Prevention Bureau, the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Children's Medical Center held a meeting with the World Health Organization on technical exchanges on respiratory infectious diseases. This paper introduces the recent epidemic situation of respiratory infectious diseases in China, pathogen surveillance, clinical diagnosis and treatment, health education and other aspects. It is understood that the cases currently reported by our surveillance and hospital systems are caused by infection with known epidemiological pathogens
On November 26 and December 2, the National Health Commission once again introduced the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases in winter at press conferences. At the press conference on December 2, Mi Feng, spokesperson of the National Health Commission and deputy director of the Publicity Department, saidAccording to the surveillance, the current epidemic of acute respiratory diseases are all caused by known pathogens, all of which have corresponding mature methods, and no new infectious diseases caused by new viruses or bacteria have been found
Wang Dayan, director of the National Influenza Center of the Institute of Viral Diseases of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, also introduced the monitoring of virus mutations at the press conference, saying that "the monitoring results show that the influenza virus is sensitive to several current anti-influenza virus drugs, which means that the anti-influenza virus drugs are effective against the influenza virus." ”
In the verification, the Shanghai Rumor Refutation Platform found that many self-deprecations were taken out of context and generalized when disseminating "WHO announced 'mysterious pneumonia'", including misinterpreting the WHO's official statement and not mentioning the information released by the National Health CommissionThere are also some self-** combining false texts on the Internet with the daily life of the account**, claiming without any basis that "announced at 3 pm today" and "announced at 3 pm yesterday". 
Judging from the comments and comments of netizens, it cannot be ruled out that some self-** took advantage of the public's attention to the disease to deliberately create panic and gain traffic by spreading rumors.
