Abstract
<p class="first" id="d4075280e52">The evolving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
pandemic1 is certainly cause for
concern. Proper communication and optimal decision-making is an ongoing challenge,
as data evolve. The challenge is compounded, however, by exaggerated information.
This can lead to inappropriate actions. It is important to differentiate promptly
the true epidemic from an epidemic of false claims and potentially harmful actions.
