Coronavirus: The fake Bill Gates post and other claims to ignore

By Jack Goodman, BBC Monitoring & Trending

BBC Reality Check

28 March 2020 Reality Check


Whether it's a post on your uncle's account or an image your friend forwarded, fake coronavirus stories seem to be everywhere.

To help, BBC teams are verifying and fact-checking the latest and most widely-seen examples of fake and misleading information.

A fake Bill Gates message

A long message attributed to Bill Gates, the Microsoft billionaire, encouraging people to reflect positively on their lives during the coronavirus outbreak has been shared thousands of times in multiple countries. It made it on to verified accounts, national newspaper websites and the Instagram account of Naomi Campbell, the supermodel.

Even more tragic for the poor dog considering they can't even get coronavirus.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

Flu deaths in the UK 2008/09: 13,000

Average number of global flu deaths per year: 500,000

I hate to sound... right... but let's put things into perspective here, calm down, stop the hysteria and urge our governments to let things go back to normal.


I can't be the only one to see that things have got rather daft now - ****ing up our economies and allowing millions to lose their jobs just because a few people have got the sniffles.


This has to stop.

Does everybody who dies from flu do it in the same month?
Click to expand...

Around 30,000 people have died from coronavirus... or so the figures say, but we don't know how reliable they are because countries have different methods of recording so-called coronavirus deaths.

Italy's death toll is likely exaggerated because the authorities there record anyone who has died with coronavirus merely in their system as having died from coronavirus, when most have actually likely died from something else.

Germany's death toll is very low, and likely more accurate, because it seems to be recording only those who have actually died from coronavirus as having died from coronavirus.

So that 30,000 coronavirus deaths is hugely exaggerated.

Meanwhile, 500,000 will die of the flu this year.

We're ****ing up our economies, losing people their jobs and causing great harm to people's health and wellbeing by keeping them at home all the time for no good reason.


Mind how you go...

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

Whilst we're at it, why don't we post the daily flu death figures on here?

Posting coronavirus death tolls daily doesn't somehow make the disease especially severe. More people are still dying of flu.

We've seen it all before.

In 2009 the Brown Administration told Brits that tens of thousands will die of bird flu during that year.

Only 500 died.

I still recall, however, everyone still being allowed to go about their daily lives as normal.

I wish I could go and see my mother. Unfortunately I can't because scaremongering idiots like you are preventing me from doing so. I couldn't even visit her on Mother's Day.
