Una publicaci\u00f3n en las redes sociales, en la que se afirma err\u00f3neamente que la coca\u00edna puede curar el COVID-19, m\u00e1s conocido como coronavirus, se ha retuiteado miles de veces en las \u00faltimas semanas, aunque,  afortunadamente, la mayor\u00eda de quienes la comparten al parecer lo consideran una broma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publicada inicialmente por el tuitero nigeriano Bizzle Osikoya el 3 de febrero, la nota ha sido retuiteada m\u00e1s de 2.700 veces, despertando reacciones que van desde el humor hasta la incredulidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aunque no se sabe si alguien ha utilizado la coca\u00edna para tratar de prevenir la propagaci\u00f3n del coronavirus, el rumor se extendi\u00f3 como un incendio y las autoridades sanitarias han reaccionado ante la informaci\u00f3n falsa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En su sitio web, la Organizaci\u00f3n Mundial de la Salud (OMS) public\u00f3<\/a> un comunicado en el que niega que la coca\u00edna pueda proteger contra el coronavirus. \u201cLa coca\u00edna es una droga estimulante y adictiva. Su consumo causa graves efectos secundarios y es perjudicial para la salud de las personas\u201d, dice el comunicado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La misma organizaci\u00f3n ha negado muchos<\/a> otros rumores falsos sobre la enfermedad, entre ellos que puede transmitirse a trav\u00e9s de picaduras de mosquitos, o que puede tratarse rociando cloro en el cuerpo, usando aceite de ajonjol\u00ed, o lav\u00e1ndose las manos con orina de ni\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y aunque la noticia falsa se origin\u00f3 en Nigeria, ha sido retomada por medios de comunicaci\u00f3n latinoamericanos, como T\u00e9lam<\/a>, de Argentina; La Vanguardia<\/a>, de M\u00e9xico, y UOL<\/a>, de Brasil, los cuales han publicado art\u00edculos para desmentir los rumores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An\u00e1lisis de InSight Crime<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Incluso si la coca\u00edna pudiera matar al coronavirus, no ser\u00eda de gran ayuda en Am\u00e9rica Latina, donde solo se han confirmado tres casos hasta la fecha (28 de febrero). El primero<\/a> corresponde a un hombre brasile\u00f1o que vive en S\u00e3o Paulo y hab\u00eda viajado recientemente a Italia; el segundo<\/a> es de un ciudadano mexicano en Ciudad de M\u00e9xico, quien tambi\u00e9n hab\u00eda estado recientemente en Italia, y el tercero es un ciudadano mexicano de 41 a\u00f1os en el estado de Sinaloa<\/a>, en la costa Pac\u00edfica del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si alg\u00fan tuitero brasile\u00f1o hubiera cre\u00eddo en la falsa publicaci\u00f3n, se hubiera podido permitir el lujo de caer en la ingenuidad, ya que un gramo de base de coca\u00edna de mala calidad cuesta en promedio cerca de US$5, como lo constata<\/a> Deutsche Welle con base en cifras de la Oficina de las Naciones contra la Droga y el Delito (ONUDD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En M\u00e9xico puede costar un poco m\u00e1s. Una investigaci\u00f3n realizada en 2017 por Radio F\u00f3rmula<\/a> en Ciudad de M\u00e9xico indica que un gramo de coca\u00edna cuesta 350 pesos (cerca de US$18), mientras que un gramo de crack se consigue por 250 pesos (unos US$12,50).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esta no es precisamente la primera vez que la coca\u00edna se ha utilizado con fines m\u00e9dicos. Despu\u00e9s de que el alcaloide de coca\u00edna fue descubierto<\/a> en 1855 por el qu\u00edmico alem\u00e1n Friedrich Gaedcke, se hizo muy popular en la Gran Breta\u00f1a victoriana. Se dec\u00eda que ten\u00eda infinidad de usos, desde aliviar la flatulencia y blanquear los dientes hasta controlar la caspa. Incluso se lleg\u00f3 a comercializar<\/a> como gotas para curar la tos de los ni\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actualmente, todav\u00eda se utiliza<\/a> en algunas formas como anest\u00e9sico para adormecer la boca y para revestir la garganta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
