Example sentence(s):
  • “La jumătatea lunii februarie 2020, Organizația Mondială a Sănătății a anunțat că pandemia cu noul coronavirus era însoțită de o „infodemie” de dezinformare. Pe măsură ce lucrurile au evoluat, au fost impuse măsuri de distanțare socială, singurele eficiente în lipsa unui vaccin sau a unui tratament. Dar distanțarea a fost doar fizică, ideile au rămas și s-au propagat, iar știrile false, parte importantă a infodemiei, amenință respectarea măsurilor impuse de autorități.” - Raportul de gardă  
  • “Franța trebuie să se pregătească pentru o epidemie de coronavirus, a declarat președintele Emmanuel Macron, însă Italia, cea mai afectată țară din Europa, până în acest moment, a avertizat că știrile false au declanșat o „infodemie” - epidemia de fake news, scrie BBC.” - Digi 24  
  • “Răspîndirea coronavirusului a generat nenumărate teze conspiraţioniste. Se poate spune că o adevărată infodemie a invadat spaţiul public şi mai ales cel virtual care s-a dovedit, din nou, că în anumite situaţii devine o platformă toxică, cu o dinamică incontrolabilă.” - Moldova Europa Liberă
