Today’s word is “infodemic” ... a massive amount of widely and rapidly circulating information about a particular crisis or controversial issue, consisting of a confusing combination of fact, falsehood, rumor, and opinion. (Dictionary.com)
Study
In this 2020 year,
It seems we’re most confused,
Everyone has an opinion,
Most information is abused.
Depending on the point-of-view,
Everyone is right,
Therefore infodemics,
Prod us all to fight.
It’s hard to step outside your view,
To ascertain the facts,
But they are there, right in plain view,
If fear doesn’t hold you back.
