The thread title is ironic because of what I'm going to say but it cannot be helped.
I get that the coronavirus is important but its getting hard to avoid news on it. On this forum alone, there are 8 threads on the first page about it. Youtube is filled with videos on it and it is all the news stations ever talk about.
Do we constantly need hour by hour death updates?
I'm fine mentally because I've switched off almost completely. I only check for news on the virus once a day, at the end of the day. However when I do check the main thread, I notice a lot of anxiety by numerous posters.
I'm not sure who needs to hear this, but if this pandemic is greatly affecting your mental health, just tune out for a while. We all know what to do to keep ourselves safe. If this is having a negative impact on your life, there is no need to follow it 24/7
