00:00Fake news. That's the answer of the Department of Health and the Embassy of China regarding the spreading online of a new epidemic in the country.

00:11We also talked to a Filipino there. Jonathan Andal was there.

00:16It's fake news.

00:39Officially, we also communicated to the World Health Organization.

00:43It's obligatory for the countries to tell their fellow countrymen if they have a disease, so to speak.

00:50There's no such thing. Zero.

00:52If there's a real news about a disease that's different, we'll be the first to say it.

00:57Even the Chinese Embassy in Manila called this fake news.

01:01Even the Filipino I talked to, who lives in Wuhan, China, was also told that there's a new epidemic there.

01:08Actually, we're going out normally. There are no masks.

01:12No matter where you go, there's no panic.

01:17There's no news coming out here in China that we need to be careful about such diseases.

01:28Angeles said that it's winter in China right now.

01:31That's why there are so many people who really think that they're being pranked.

01:34But there's no declaration of a state of emergency, just like what's being spread on viral posts.

01:39This is also a time of natural cold.

01:44In this case, the number of respiratory illnesses is really increasing.

01:48In Tagalog, malatrang kasong sakit, influenza-like illness.

01:52It's natural every year.

01:54According to the Reuters report, acute respiratory diseases are really increasing in China.

02:00From December 16 to 22.

02:02Among the detected causes of the latest cases there are viruses that are common in the Philippines

02:08and are easy to fight against.

02:10They're not new diseases.

02:12It's not new. That virus is from 2001.

02:16And like many respiratory viruses, it doesn't have a vaccine.

02:21That's true. It doesn't have medicine. That's also true.

02:23But it's mild.

02:25In other words, it can fight a person who has a strong resistance.

02:30According to the DOH, it's possible that some of us have PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder due to COVID-19.

02:38So that's the fear and anxiety of reading viral posts.

02:42Let's have a reminder or a warning that anxiety is increasing again.

02:50So for our fellow countrymen who click, click, share, share,

02:55check first where it came from.

02:57There is still COVID-19 now.

02:59That's why the World Health Organization or WHO is continuously calling on China

03:03to give them access to data to better understand the origin of COVID-19.

03:08China's response is that they are sharing with the international community

03:12the data and results of their studies on COVID-19.
