The Importance of credible news in these times

During these trying times due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is in a state of vulnerability. With false news being shared across various social media platforms and Whatsapp “forwarded messages”, our vulnerable state allows us to accept the false news as the real news.
More often than not, we tend to believe almost anything we read related to the COVID-19 pandemic as we feel obliged to educate ourselves as much as we possibly can, not realizing that this leads us to unnecessarily panic and hyperventilate over inconsequential pieces of information that are untrue and not supported by any higher authorities. To educate ourselves, (especially during a fragile time like this), means to find the correct education, trustable sources of information and then proceeding to share them with loved ones hoping to educate them too. 
What we seem to overlook is that not all “news” really is news, but since we are all in this state of unfortunate vulnerability, we tend to get deceived by fakery.
Rumors, shams, and outspoken people with loud voices tend to shake up our worlds by deceiving us with fake news and allowing us to fall deep into the trap of further suffering. We must make it a point to read and share only those pieces of information that are given out by higher authorities and well known researchers. It is easy to get sucked into the world of fake, deceitful news that convinces us to believe it and get worked up about it.
