Summary/Abstract: The time of quarantine and social distancing generated by the time of the Covid19 pandemic marks more than any other time a preventive action on a daily basis. Thus, we can seethat the websites and social media are mobilizing for raising possible awareness on this subject.However, the readiness to popularize the medical discourse is problematized as long as the content istransposed from certified sites to personalized accounts. The obvious question: how do these sitessafeguard the veracity of the medical discourse while combining simplification of the technolect witha rhetoric of potential dialogue with site users?To answer this question, we have chosen to work on the Q&A section and “received ideas”on the WHO website as a global certified text organization; while the theoretical models borrow froma literature review touching on the meta / socioterminological dimension.
