How has media coverage of the coronavirus influenced what you think, how you feel, or what you do?

<strong> I'm pretty active on Facebook,</strong> my kids would say too active.When I see good articles about why we should be careful to avoid COVID I post them. However<strong> I post</strong> them<strong> in a way that excludes my conservative friends, to avoid getting in arguments</strong> with them. Several of them thing COVID is not nearly as bad as it is portrayed in the mainstream media. I don't agree.<strong> My aunt</strong> (with whom I wasn't close),<strong> my favorite English teacher, a friend from high school's mother</strong> and<strong> my sister-in-laws uncle all died from COVID.</strong> Back to a general post, we have had two<strong> friends whose sister died in a country across the Atlantic </strong>but they were<strong> unable to attend the funeral</strong> due to COVID.
