Piggy-backing off this, does anyone have any tips for navigating the news when there's a large undercurrent of panic beneath the surface?
I get that the news has the motto of if it bleeds, it leads but I also need to know the major events occurring in the world.
Personally I've been trying to view the news as something that is more panic inducing in such a trying time. I've tried to recognize that the language being used is coming from people who may be just as scared as anyone else, and that feeds into a self-reinforcing loop.
I've also found that reading Reddit's comments are anxiety-inducing, so I've tried to stick to the study-and-facts-only subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/
