COVID-19 is still a hot topic for reporters to write about. Every country, including the United States, spent many papers informing and delivering to the audiences about the virus. Many people want to take advantage of the COVID-19 to write to get attention. In my country, Vietnam, last year, there was a man who got criminal charges for posting fake news about COVID-19. He used his Facebook account to report the wrong number of COVID-19 death and shared it everywhere. At that moment, Vietnam was still in a hard time when everything was locked down, so that information worried people a lot. "Please pay attention to not going out without necessity. The information is completely accurate. I’m not joking on April Fool's Day, and I’m not posting such scrap news just to be fined," he said in his Facebook post.
