Second this.  I've turned off all news programs because I've had enough fear mongering.

I don't think they are going away. I don't open them if not interested, just as I do with other topics. That's about all the content control I have.

@mollymaggie good point.  We are all stressed by this situation.  If only the news media would stop breaking in with all of these press briefings.  With 3 hours of news from 4 to 7pm nightly, we'll hear all of the updates over and over again.  It's just becoming too much.

Don't read them if they bother you. Start a thread or threads about something you want to discuss.

I'm just tired of the subtle (not very subtle. we/you aren't fooling anyone) political digs back and forth thrown into discussions about the COVID-19. Virus info is helpful. The extra crud is not fun to read.

Some of us like as many updates as we can hear. Witnessing history here, I find it interesting as well as sad.
As with anything, news or what’s posted here, if you aren’t interested just don’t pay any attention.

I don't think that's possible any more than it is to get people to shut up about Harry and Meghan.
