Related searches for coronavirus revealed a high level of interest (a breakout over 5000%) on the information about the use of an ether and chloroform blend in treating COVID-19, especially in the North and Northeast regions which are recognized as the poorest regions in the country. Unfortunately, fake news and misinformation on social media can lead people to make harmful health decisions. It is important to check health information related to COVID-19 from reliable news sources and expert guidance from health authorities and international health organizations, rather than from shared stories in social media. Furthermore, there is no evidence supporting claims that ether and chloroform inhalation is useful in the treatment of COVID-19.	./cache/cord-355049-mf0lgrlp.txt	./txt/cord-355049-mf0lgrlp.txt
