Unfortunately, there are still many people who are not aware of the danger of repeating everything, spreading rumors, news and misinformation. They do not understand the extent of the harm they might inflict on society, nor the magnitude of the rumor’s influence and people's reactions to it. On the other hand, society, unfortunately also, is still fragile in the degree of awareness and its distinction between rumors and correct information, and many still believe everything that they hear, and even publish everything that they reach without hesitation Or sane!
What happened the day before yesterday confirms this ... a rumor from an unknown woman, who is not believed by sane people, and cannot pass on any person who lived in the Emirates, and it has never happened that the government surprised people by preventing them from leaving without warning, and the government has never prevented people from Buying their needs under any circumstances, but all of this did not make people stop, even for a moment, to think about the rumor, and set out in regards to the nearest association to buy everything they needed and what they did not need!
The seriousness of the rumor, which did not pay attention to both the stampede and the queues in the assembly, lies in violating the government's instructions to avoid crowded places, and not mixing and friction with many people, and what happened yesterday from the stampede and crowding formed - without a doubt - a comfortable focus, and an opportunity for the transmission of the virus With ease and comfort from one person to another, the number is large, the nationalities are different and varied, and none of them was able to understand that the transmission of the disease to him is much more dangerous than anything else he might lose if he did not go to the association!
This reckless disregard of the rumors should not go unnoticed in such circumstances. The time for awareness has ended, and the state has not left a way to warn about the danger of repeating everything except its path, and there is no excuse now that can never be accepted, it is a crime with full elements, and it cannot leave its owners on the pretext They did not mean that, or that the registration was specific to a specific group on a means of social media, or that they do not know that it amounts to a crime, all are unacceptable excuses, especially in such critical circumstances, and ignorance of the law never absolves from criminalizing the perpetrator’s act , And apply the penal code to it!
We are not authorized to publish government generalizations, instructions and decisions before they are issued. No person, citizen or resident, has the right to that in his personal capacity. There are governmental bodies responsible for that, and there are well-known and known methods, mechanisms and means in disseminating government decisions from their official sources. Right many people donate to write decisions and intimidate an entire society? It is an irresponsible act, and it must be dealt with severely to prevent it. The current conditions are the best environment for promoting rumors, and if no public measures are taken against everyone who promotes it, intentionally or unintentionally, we ignore that we will lose control little by little, and many will begin to guide society. Whatever they want, they tamper with it whenever they want, and this is very dangerous!
May we consider and learn from the great Chinese people? The most striking examples of following the instructions, and strict adherence to government instructions without hesitation, without rumors, and without complaining, have been struck, and this has effectively contributed to the decline of the disease, and the reduction of its prevalence, may we realize that more Out of a billion and 400 million people, all of whom cooperated and collaborated with their government ... imposed on them a lot of laws, obligating them to sit in their homes for days and weeks long, not one person died of hunger, while if they left their homes, the number of deaths would be in millions!
