During the modern age of the pandemic, news sources and various media outlets have used the opportunity to spread whatever news possible, despite if it may be real. Some people are even spreading misinformation themselves, just for temporary benefit. For example, in India "Many students are using fake positive tests to get out of taking exams."(Niharika Sharma, Quartz India) The spread of fake information about covid can be dangerous because one does not know the health extent of their lies. For example, if people are botching fake tests to simply be able to fly, this may easily spread the disease without knowing. Covid has brought about the importance of needing the truth, and many people choose to discern the truth for own personal gain.
