Social Media: A Pandemic of Misinformation

In the shadows of a novel viral pandemic that ravages our country and the entire world, a pandemic of different sorts bares its fangs. This beast is far different from any virus or bacteria that we have seen before. It has been waiting patiently for an opportunity to strike, slowly growing its dominion while we naively enabled it to do so. It laughs at the primitiveness of requiring contact or respiratory mediums to spread [genetic] material. We have laid the foundations for this beast to spread to practically anyone in the world nearly instantaneously.
