CHICAGO — The final argument in the 4,500-member Oak Park Coronavirus Facebook group earlier this month was more exhausted than fierce.
After someone posted an article about long COVID, a lengthy debate ensued with dozens of comments, many of which veered well beyond the content of the article. The tone was often less than polite, and some exchanges fizzled out with a shrug.
“We’re not going to convince each other ... so I’ll give you this time back rather than spending the time arguing with me,” one commenter wrote.
