Same thing coming from All Sides - No escape
« on: April 07, 2020, 10:14:24 am »
COVID-19:  Seems like a person can't be anywhere....news, Facebook, phone......what do you hear or read?  COVID-19
At work, one of the residents (who is extremely immunocompromised) is nervous.  Even the pocasts he watches about comics, superheroes, etc are ALL on the COVID-19 topic.

Here in FusionCash, the recurring topic seems to be Lack of Videos and non-credit

Turn off the news is key to not becoming paranoid regarding the Virus.  It's all become so tiresome.

Let people out, make them wear masks, make them wear gloves, engage in social distancing... that's all one can do. Personal responsibility or we all go crazy in quarantine.

i have cut down my online time to about 1.5 hours a day. most of it is spent here on FC. I also only watch about 15 minutes a day of the news. I do this mainly because of covid -19. if i watch or listen too much i sometimes begin to panic.
so as a result i do other things. :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

Yes I agree and I can't think of anything much else although I try.  Coronovirus because I am 66 and have several health issues.  No credit because I am stuck at home and that is all I have to occupy my mind.  Well take care.

Yes, it does get very depressing.  It would be nice if they had tests so we could see if lots of us may have already had.  We had a strange thing go around the end of December beginning of January that certainly sounds like it.  Anyway, I am cleaning out lots of books in my library, but I have lots of boxes  stacked in the garage waiting for the charity sites to reopen for donations for their stores.  I miss my grandkids A LOT.

I have been trying not to watch the news to much lately but do make a point to listen to our governor each day at 2:30 and watch David Muir each night.

Watching the news is for the most part a waste of my time so I've baked over 150 small nut rolls and really been given some of my drawers a much needed cleaning out and reorganized

We do not watch the news much,  We look at our county's up date on things and that is about it.  My sister is way to happy telling me whats going on.

We try not to watch much news, I turn the TV on in the mornings to hear anything that might be new thru the night.  Then Turn it back on around 5 or 6 to see the same thing thru the day.  I am working from home, and when I take breaks I read a book.  No need to hear bad news all day long. 

I had some sort of virus Not the flu) back around Christmas and the cough lasted a month, then at the end of February a caught the Flu Type A, and after tamiflu, the next week I was traveling Internationally within days and still had a bad cough, went back to Dr. he gave me antibiotics and steroids plus a prescription for cough medicine.  Went on my trip came back and still have a cough, consulted my Dr. 2 weeks ago because the cough, even though is better is NOT gone (is dry and a pest), he prescribe me and Inhaler says since I had asthma when I was young that could be affecting me.  Now cough is almost gone, but still there once in a whole.

I wonder if that had something to do with everything else going around.  My adult kids traveled with us, and they were not so much joking that I need to pass thru customs by myself in case I got quarantine.  Thank God i pass wth flying colors, and after been home for 3 weeks I know we are not infected, but it is an scary world.

I am sick of it. It is all you see and hear every where.  Every survey is about that now as well. Even if it starts as something else it throws questions about that in there.

I've had to cut back on watching the news. It gets depressing listening to all the doom and gloom everyday.

Used to watch to see how many affected in my State ca and died that day. The number always going up.  Now don't look for that as much. Yes it's 24 7 corona virus news. Still watch CNN  feel like you need to know the latest but  better to limit the amount you watch.

I make sure to watch about it atleast once a day or I am afraid I will forget about the danger now that the weather is getting nicer  I used to watch more but it is depressing at times.
