Rumors are a coping mechanism people use during times of uncertainty. 

 Rumors have 4 things in common. They're...

• Presented as fact - vs. an opinion
• Being circulated - it's not a rumor if it's not being shared 
• Unverified - it's not a rumor if it's true 
• Relevant - rumors speak to issues people are curious about
