I don’t know if I am just putting my head in the sand but I have consciously stopped checking the BBC news site as much as I usually do and am listen to more podcasts instead of news radio. The news is so stressful
... I am keeping myself informed and trying to respond proportionately but I’m just not sure how knowing how things are changing minute to minute is helping me! Everyone different I suppose
... in defence of the media and govt, it does seem that the kind of widespread behavioural change (even if just tweaking eg hand washing) requires a proper understand of the risks and there is a big risk here. But individuals have a right to tune out once they have the message!
