With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, people turned to social media toread and to share timely information including statistics, warnings, advice,and inspirational stories. Unfortunately, alongside all this usefulinformation, there was also a new blending of medical and politicalmisinformation and disinformation, which gave rise to the first globalinfodemic. While fighting this infodemic is typically thought of in terms offactuality, the problem is much broader as malicious content includes not onlyfake news, rumors, and conspiracy theories, but also promotion of fake cures,panic, racism, xenophobia, and mistrust in the authorities, among others. Thisis a complex problem that needs a holistic approach combining the perspectivesof journalists, fact-checkers, policymakers, government entities, social mediaplatforms, and society as a whole. Taking them into account we define anannotation schema and detailed annotation instructions, which reflect theseperspectives. We performed initial annotations using this schema, and ourinitial experiments demonstrated sizable improvements over the baselines. Now,we issue a call to arms to the research community and beyond to join the fightby supporting our crowdsourcing annotation efforts.
