In further describing this “other epidemic” in his video message on COVID-19 and misinformation from 14 April 2020, UN Secretary-General António Guterres speaks of a “global ‘misinfo-demic’” on the ground that “wild conspiracy theories are infecting the Internet” and “hatred is going viral”. ![]() The term “infodemic” appears in a WHO report on “the “2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCOV) Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan” from 04 February 2020.
