Viruses and theories: just avoid human contact, follow media by using criticism

The purpose of the pseudoscientific text is almost every time found from the text itself. The pseudoscience means that the article or other writing is looking very interesting and written by using the academic methodology. But the article involves many things, which are not true, or written for supporting some political or other purposes.

The best examples are the writings, where some actions against epidemics are claimed to get thanks from WHO, but when we are visiting in the homepages of WHO there is no mention of that kind of thing. Pseudoscience means "virtual" or "apparent" science, which looks like really qualified, but there are no sources or the purpose of the article is only supported some kind of political agenda.

There are many examples of that kind of thing in history, and things like "cigarettes cannot cause cancer" are the most well-known examples of that kind of dangerous pseudoscience. And that thing was repeated after time and time until one of the key figures of the tobacco-industries died in the throat cancer. At least that thing brought the risks of cigarettes in public knowledge.

When we are avoiding human contact, that should be enough.  The most important thing is that the origin of the virus is not important if we want to resist the epidemic. Being outside is one of the things, which are depending on the place, where people are living. If there is nobody outside the building, walking or jogging is a good sport and helps to keep the body healthy.

But we should avoid talking with other people in too close a distance. And the other thing is that we should avoid places, where there are a lot of people. The thing is that in this kind of case the politics is always involving the actions. And when we are in the quarantine, we must be acting like normal people, and that means following the instructions is the thing, but also we must remember that there must also be some other activities.

Why there are so many conspiracy theories about China? The answer is that the unknown is fascinating. 

The culture of China is different from Europeans, and the most remarkable thing, what people are seeing are strange letters of the Chinese language. For Europeans, the Chinese are difficult to learn, because we must learn also another type of letters, what we are using. But otherwise European languages are difficult to learn to Chinese for the same reason.

So if we want to read some Chinese documents, we cannot even recognize the words from those documents. If we are reading documents, what are written in Russian, those documents are written by language, which has something common with regular European languages. But the grammar of Chinese is far away from the European languages, and the letters or marks of that language are different than the marks, what we are used to using when we are writing or reading things.

Media is full of tales about this thing, and we must follow them by using critics. There are many things, what we are not told, and the thing with China is that the language of that country is different, what we are using in everyday life. So that means that there is a possibility about the misunderstanding of the things, that are written in the Chinese papers. And things like Chinese letters are very hard to read if you are not Chinese.

But there is a mirror-effect also for that thing. The European letters are things, what the Chinese must also learn when they are studying English or some other "western language". This causes the language barrier between nations. And that is what we are forgetting, If we are hard to learn some languages, the opposite side has also difficulties to understand things, what we are saying.
