The 2019-nCoV outbreak and response has been accompanied by a massive ‘infodemic’ - an over-abundance of information – some accurate and some not – that makes it hard for people to find trustworthy sources and reliable guidance when they need it. (World Health Organization)

infodemia, epidemia informacyjna
Definition from
www.consilium.europa.eu:
Świat ogarnęła nie tylko epidemia Covid-19 wywołana koronawirusem, lecz także, jak ją określiła Światowa Organizacja Zdrowia (WHO), infodemia, czyli epidemia informacyjna. Zalew informacji, w tym fałszywych lub niedokładnych, o wirusie, jego źródle i skutkach, a także o działaniach podejmowanych przez władze, by zaradzić pandemii, sprawia, że ludziom trudno jest znaleźć wiarygodne źródła i potrzebne rady.
Example sentences:
Koronawirus, pierwsza infodemia – epidemia informacyjna – każe nam przemyśleć model dostępności treści w internecie. I to nie tylko z perspektywy dezinformacji i fake-newsów, ale również w kontekście tego, kto sprawuje w dzisiejszych czasach kontrolę nad wiedzą i informacją – czyli ma władzę. (centrumcyfrowe.pL)
