2. How does News Article No. 1(Web.MD)
define the Delta variant of COVID-19?

According to the Web MD, the Delta variant can spread more easily
because the spike protein of the strain possesses alterations that
make it simpler for it to infect human cells. That means that if
someone contracts the virus, they may become more contagious
and spread it more easily to others. According to public health
specialists, the average individual infected with Delta infects three
or four more people. However, the delta variant may be able to
evade immunizations and some COVID-19 therapies.

symptoms.

Covid-19 cases in the country. However, viral blogs claim that the
Delta version causes no cough, fever, weakness, or loss of appetite,
but in reality, Delta-induced Covid symptoms are comparable to
those of other strains, including persistent cough, headache, fever,
and sore throat.

FAKE NEWS:
Article that verify Garlic Can't cure Covid-19

Coronavirus is becoming more common in more nations

around the world, and there is currently no cure. Even
though garlic is "a healthful food that may have some
antibacterial qualities," there is no proof that consuming it
can protect people from the new coronavirus, according to
the WHO. These types of cures aren't always hazardous in
and of themselves, as long as they don't keep you from
following evidence-based medical advice. They have the
potential to be, though. Drinking water and eating fruits and
vegetables can help you stay healthy. However, there is no
evidence that certain meals will aid in the fight against this
illness.
Article that verify Garlic Can't cure Covid-19

According to Washington Post, garlic contains

antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-tumor, and
antibacterial properties, and it is being studied
for these properties. The majority of antiviral
research focuses on HIV or the common cold,
and data from these studies cannot be extended
to the novel coronavirus. It's easy to embellish
and mislead people because there's a sliver of
understanding concerning garlic and viruses.

According to the WHO, "There is no indication

from the present outbreak that eating garlic has
protected patients from the new coronavirus,"
REFLECTION PART
What is Fake News? Where does it come from? Why is it so dangerous?
Fake news is false or misleading information of news. It is dangerous for various reasons, including the fact that
misinformed people may be put in grave danger as a result of inaccurate information. It has the potential to
injure you and your beliefs, as well as to spread erroneous information to others, with the result that they may
harm themselves.
How can we as individuals ensure we are getting the best information about current events?
Obtain information from a variety of sources. Do not rely solely on the same sort of source or sources that
repeat the same information as another source.
Find up-to-date, trustworthy sources with good evidence on a topic.
It's a good idea to acquire current event information from a relatively unbiased news source.

How can you make sure you don’t fall victim to fake news?
We must not keep believing any news without any source to back it up; instead, conduct some research and, if
you suspect it is false, do not distribute or share it until the truth is revealed. As a result, you can protect
yourself and others from becoming victims of fake news. I ensure that news comes from verified sources, and if I
come across fake news again, I must report it because it could harm our society.
