WhatsApp has become a center for spreading coronavirus misinformation

The WhatsApp application has become a hub of information on the Internet at a time when the coronavirus infection is spreading, writes CNN.

Authorities around the world are trying to give citizens accurate information about the pandemic and not to panic.

Press conferences are constantly being held and new data is being published, but WhatsApp is becoming a big issue.

The application disseminates various tips, ie misinformation on virus protection, and one of the most read is that "every 15 minutes you need to drink hot water because it will wash away the virus in the stomach and kill the stomach acid there."

In the United States, the advice is being given that citizens should fill their basements with food supplies, after which the National Security Staff denied this information.

In Spain, the advice is spread to make "gargle of water, salt, and vinegar".

This problem is also present in Croatia, where messages from a "friend of someone working in a hospital" or "brother of someone employed in a state institution" are spreading.

WhatsApp has announced that it is combating the spread of misinformation.

Elon Musk again promises private space flights

Elon Musk's SpaceX company has signed an agreement with a space tourism agency to organize a trip into Earth's orbit for several adventurous travelers. Space Adventures, an agency that has organized eight tours to the International Space Station from 2001 to 2009, plans to organize a four-passenger flight on SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft. The journey would be completed by the end of 2021, according to a Space Adventures statement released yesterday. Passengers will spend a maximum of five days orbiting the Earth, stranded in a 3.96-meter-long spacecraft. The flight path predicts that private space tourists will fly two to three times the altitude of the orbit of the International Space Station, says Eric Anderson, president of Space Adventures. It will be the furthest distance from Earth anyone has found in decades, meaning that passengers on this flight will have a sight similar to what astronauts saw on NASA's Gemini 11 mission in 1966, Anderson said on Tw...

SpaceX lost its Falcon 9 after the successful launch of Starlink satellites

SpaceX successfully launched a new set of 60 Starlink satellites but was left without a Falcon 9 rocket. After the launch was complete, the rocket was to return to a drone ship, but missed it and ended up in the sea. This is the first such case in nearly 4 years, the last Falcon 9 rocket missed a drone ship in June 2016 The rocket was previously used for the CRS-17 mission in May 2019, then for the CRS-18 mission in July 2019, and for the December 2019 mission. Successful landings have had a positive impact on the business success of the company as the more rockets it saves the more it can use for the next launch, thereby reducing costs. It is not known why the rocket missed the landing target. Maybe you want to read about  The new Fortnite brings a bullied cat, balloon riding and Deadpool.
