What is the definition of Provinces Infection?

"A province infection is like a bad case of the flu, but instead of sneezing and coughing, you're spreading misinformation and potentially causing a nationwide panic. It's the scenario where one provincial politician's tweet about a local farmer's mishap goes viral, turning a harmless incident into a nationwide crisis of 'are you serious?' and 'is this really a rural problem or a national threat?'"

Example sentence: "After the provincial infection, we found out the entire countryside was convinced a new breed of 'farm-to-table' conspiracy theory had taken root."
