On March 18, a Twitter user from Ecuador posted<\/a> several videos of a patient, who, according to her, was suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome. The video was shot at a hospital centre in Valencia<\/a> city of Ecuador’s Los Rios province. Her Twitter bio, says, “Ecuadorian from Guayaquil. Doctor. Researcher”.<\/p>\n #COVID19<\/a> \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\udde8 ECUADOR. Parroquia El Vergel.Valencia. Provincia de Los R\u00edos.

She posted one more video of the patient receiving ‘artificial hydration’ with the caption, “this video shows the intercostal circulation, a sign of reduced air pressure inside the chest. (-translated)” In the tweet, she informs that the patient might be transferred to a hospital in Quevedo<\/a> city. In the video, people can be heard speaking Spanish. While the audio is not clear, a person says, “do you see how it moves”, while pulling the patient’s shirt up. Later in the video, we hear someone say, “Is that enough?”<\/p>\n Ya canalizado, graban este v\u00eddeo evidenciando el tiraje intercostal, signo de reducci\u00f3n de la presi\u00f3n de aire dentro del t\u00f3rax.

It may be noted that except for the hashtag (#COVID19) in her first tweet, she doesn’t refer to the coronavirus.<\/p>\n Moreover, we also found a Facebook post by a page named, C6 Televisi\u00f3n Babahoyo<\/a>. Babahoyo is the capital of Los Rios province. According to the ‘about us’ section of the Facebook page, it’s based in Babahoyo, the capital of Los Rios province. On the same day, the page had posted this video with a message that clarifies that the patient was suffering from respiratory issues and NOT coronavirus.<\/p>\n #ATENCI\u00d3N | El caso de la joven que se presenta en el v\u00eddeo, corresponde a una paciente con \u201cS\u00edndrome de abstinencia respiratoria\u201d y no de afectaci\u00f3n de coronavirus.<\/p>\n Posted by C6 Televisi\u00f3n Babahoyo<\/a> on Tuesday, 17 March 2020<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Alt News was unable to independently ascertain specific details about the video. Albeit, it can be said with certainty that the video was first circulated in Ecuador with the claim that the patient was suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome. In the background, people can also be heard talking in Spanish which hints that the clip was not shot in India. The social media claim that it shows a patient from Mangalore who was infected with the coronavirus is false.<\/p>\n A complaint has been filed with Mangalore police by the Medical superintendent of District Government Wenlock Hospital seeking action against those who have circulated the videos as of their hospital. “The video surfaced on social media platforms soon after the first COVID-19 positive case was reported on Sunday,” stated an article published by Times of India<\/em><\/a> on March 22, 2020. “Two video clips, which are being shared on social media, purportedly of a patient struggling in Wenlock Hospital. It is not from Wenlock Hospital. Moreover, Wenlock Hospital does not use blue beds,” stated the superintendent while rubbishing the videos.<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong>\u00a0The number of\u00a0positive cases of the novel coronavirus in India<\/a> is close to 700. This has caused the government to impose a complete restriction on movement apart from essential services. Globally, more than 4 lakh confirmed cases and over 21,000 deaths have been reported<\/a>. There is a growing sense of panic among citizens, causing them to fall for a variety of online misinformation \u2013 misleading images and videos rousing fear or medical misinformation promoting pseudoscience and invalid treatments.
