Sirerol himself received many direct messages thanking him for his action to spread the truth about China.

"Many users in Spain and Latin America have messaged me, saying they have more confidence that China can beat the disease, and some expressed the will to donate."

But responses have not been all positive.

"I also got many replies from Chinese living abroad. They have been subjected to racism because of the pneumonia and are deeply saddened. I wrote back, hoping they could be brave and not lower their heads at racist discrimination," Sirerol said.

In the video, Sirerol also praised the effort of Chinese media in spreading the message, and the public for responding in a timely manner.

"Newspapers, television, social media are covering the importance of the incident, raising public awareness, calling for the public to take preventative actions. This has been effective; everybody is protecting themselves.

"Now in China, everybody is working together to combat the pneumonia. In Beijing, everybody is wearing masks, everybody is fully equipped," Sirerol added.

Sirerol strongly advised the public to not trust all of the comments on the internet. "Many rumors have been refuted by official sources, with enough data to back them. If you want the latest news, which is a good thing to stay informed, go to reliable and official sources," Sirerol said.
