Russia deploying coronavirus disinformation to sow panic in West, EU document says

WORLD NEWS MARCH 18, 2020 / 5:28 AM / UPDATED 2 HOURS AGO

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Russian media have deployed a “significant disinformation campaign” against the West to worsen the impact of the coronavirus, generate panic and sow distrust, according to a European Union document seen by Reuters.

The Kremlin denied the allegations on Wednesday, saying they were unfounded and lacked common sense.

The EU document said the Russian campaign, pushing fake news online in English, Spanish, Italian, German and French, uses contradictory, confusing and malicious reports to make it harder for the EU to communicate its response to the pandemic.

“A significant disinformation campaign by Russian state media and pro-Kremlin outlets regarding COVID-19 is ongoing,” said the nine-page internal document, dated March 16, using the name of the disease that can be caused by the coronavirus.

It is just another one of a string of viruses you, and the world could not handle.

It's not China's fault people fly around and spread viruses. It's how we live.

We could "stop" the spread of viruses, but our species would have to change.

Fat chance.

It's obvious that's become the talking point for the sheep to suck up. For their lack of immediate action, they're trying to use the excuse that it's because China was covering up the severity of it.
