Coronavius Brings Quacks away of Woodwork

Online shopping sites are bristling with adverts for miracle treatments or coverage from coronavirus. Some perform have some rewards for the disease fighting capability, but most are pure snake oil.

An official at the Ministry of Food and Drug Safeness said, "All products for sale labeled as 'effective in preventing coronavirus' are either bogus or exaggerated." There continues to be no certified avoidance or treatment for COVID-19. Well being officials can only just recommend repeated hand-washing and wearing deal with masks. 

Even plenty of provincial governments seem keen to capitalize in the virus scare. One provincial federal government in an integral part of Korea renowned for ginseng released a declaration touting the "growing expectations" of the organic root combating the virus.

Another provincial government in a region well-known for green tea extract issued a affirmation claiming that the herb works well in strengthening the individual immune system.

Many doctors are jumping in the bandwagon. One hospital in South Gyeongsang Province claimed on its blog that an injection of high-dosage supplement C and licorice could prevent coronavirus disease. And an oriental medication clinic in Gyeonggi Province approved out advertising prodding people to consume medicinal herbs "for a significant boost" to immunity.

But experts warn that most such claims are fake or exaggerated, since it remains unclear preventing infection at all. "Actually healthy people can contract the virus," stated Lee Jae-gap at Hallym University INFIRMARY in Gangnam. "If there is really a drug or food product that may prevent infection, it would have sold like hotcakes already everywhere."

Very similar quack remedies became common through the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome outbreak on 2015, Zika virus outbreak in 2016 and even the fine-dust scare this past year.
