Fed up with seeing political lies on social media, Scott Erickson deleted his Facebook account last year as the US headed into the presidential primary season. Leaving the world's largest social network, he thought, would help ease his mind.

But Erickson's Facebook hiatus came to an end earlier this month when the 47-year-old technical account manager developed a fever and cough, symptoms associated with COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus. After self-isolating as a precaution, Erickson created a new Facebook account to connect with extended family.

Not a good idea to get back to Facebook these days. Content published there is terrible. Everybody just exalts their fears there making it difficult to bear. The fuel to the international fear machine.
