(AP) – A roundup of some of the most popular but completely untrue stories and visuals of the week. None of these are legit, even though they were shared widely on social media. The Associated Press checked them out. Here are the facts:

DEAR HARRIETTE: I think that my friend keeps lying about having COVID-19. Since April 2020, my friend has claimed to have contracted COVID-19 about five different times. I don't see how this is possible, especially since I have not contracted the virus once. I think that she does this to avoid spending time with me. Would it be wrong to confront her about this? I don't have any evidence that she's lying other than the unlikelihood of catching COVID-19 so many times. – Suspicious

Dear Doctors: I am a COVID-19 longhauler, and it has been a horrible experience. I have tinnitus, tremors and shortness of breath, and I lost my sense of smell. It's disabling, and I am doubtful I will ever be the same. Can I assist in research in any way? What kinds of clinical trials are there?
DEAR HARRIETTE: I send my nephew gifts every year on his birthday. He's 11 years old -- the exact same age as my daughter. He always tells me how happy these gifts make him. My sister doesn't do the same for my daughter. She will call her, sing her a little song, or maybe write her a sweet little post on Facebook, but she never sends gifts. Every year I get a little offended. It isn't like my sister can't afford gifts; she actually makes more money than I do. Should I approach her about this? -- Don't Be Stingy
