The local Fox affiliate losers publish a daily case count but of course fail to mention that the overwhelming majority of those cases have been healed many months ago. They get off on the 462,000 number.
Just to show you how fear-inducing the news is these days, I was watching something I wanted to see about a half hour before the news started. I left the room to find something for my project I was working on, which took me about 10 minutes. I came back in the den and to finish what I was working on and I started getting agitated. I looked up and saw the cause of my agitation - I had come back into the room during the beginning of the case count, the death count, the report from this hospital, and this celebrity has died of covid.
I am self-inoculated from the fear. That little event taught me exactly what is happening to people because of the news on TV.
