description The text addresses the risks involving xenophobia against the Chinese on the internet, and social networks, from the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to demonstrating how irrational this manifestation is, especially the idea of virus creation in a laboratory.

Finally, I warn about the need to use science to confront the new coronavirus and abandon conspiracy theories.
