This minute by minute update on EVERY FUCKING tv channel and radio station is tiresome to say the least.
Getting ANY news beyond the weather seems an impossibility at this point.
I get that things are bad in some areas. I get that people are succumbing to this terrible virus. I get that the worst is yet to come.
I ALSO get that life continues for 99.something percent of the rest of us.
Hearing the SAME DAMN SHIT minute by minute does not change the circumstances of our lives in the least.
I get that the all caps breaking news banner of IMPENDING DOOM gets ratings but I for one am sick of it. We don't need repeated updates every ten damn minutes of the same shit they just told us 10 minutes ago. We don't need new "experts" telling us the same shit just worded slightly different every 10 minutes.
If your goal it to depress your population with constant doom and gloom then you're doing a bang up job. You have effectively convinced many of our customers/friends/family that we're all screwed and that life as we know it is over......except it isn't.
Humans adapt. Humans cope. Humans have the fortitude to get through the hard times despite the so called odds.
Obviously this situation demands coverage and action. What it does not require is the 24/7 drumbeat of death.
