"CBS News Journalist Maria Mercader Dies at 54 After Testing Positive for Coronavirus"

Just a pet peeve of mine. The above is horribly misleading click-bait headline designed to instill fear in people. Two paragraphs down in the story:

"Mercader had fought multiple health issues for the past two decades, including a bout with cancer, and had been on medical leave prior to the rise of coronavirus in the United States."

Of course, if you read the headline carefully, it never actually says that her death was caused by COVID-19 but it is certainly implying it. I'm not going to bother to link the story but you can find it easily enough by searching google for that headline.
