In the reading to the letter made by Eugenio it is expressed: “We do not have the equipment and material to be able to protect ourselves, what we are using are equipment purchased from our own pocket. We are investing more than a quarter of our salary to be able to get equipment.” In addition to the comedian, he quoted: “We are investing more than a quarter of our salary to be able to get a salary, however, we cannot be making constant use of that money since our families need our income. We are about to enter phase 3 of the pandemic and the phone number list corresponding authorities are not solving anything for us.” The IMSS denies. After gaining thousands of reactions and comments, the comedian received the response from the health institute itself.

The population is invited to consult official sources.” It should be noted that the text cited by Derbez and according to what was published by the IMSS seems to phone number list be part of a WhatsApp chain that has been identified as false. The clarification did not produce anything other than criticism for the comedian who, at the time of closing this note, is in the first position of trends on Twitter with a total of 20.5 thousand related tweets according to official data from the social network itself.

Sharing false information that lacks verification is a phenomenon that in common times causes serious problems , which in times of contingency are significantly aggravated. Let us remember that, according to phone number list the Edelman Trust Barometer (ETB), 80 percent of Mexicans describe the dissemination of false news through the media as a "weapon" to include in decision-making. Although the claim is direct and forceful towards the media ( 77 percent of those surveyed considered that these institutions are more concerned about increasing their audiences than reporting real events), the reality is that, taking as a reference what happened with Derbez.
