There are people who watch the news (or read it here) in order to find evidence that justifies or validates the level of anxiety that they are feeling. It's almost, but not quite, as if they are HOPING that another bad thing will happen. It will give them an "I told you so!" moment.
Those people need a rest, perhaps with the help of an understanding friend who promises to call them if anything important happens.
Ok...since you are volunteering...FReepmail me when something happens. Gotta get some sleep.
