Go on who comments in the virus forum more than they do the other areas 
Personally speaking, I can't wait for there to be no need for this section. I find it draining. Yet I'm drawn to it. Like seeing a car crash. I know I shouldn't look ... but I have to  |

And never watch the news

I look everyday to see if there is news I haven't seen elsewhere. I don't watch the news and only read Sky/BBC news on Thier apps. So sometimes I see things in the virus forum that I did not know.
It is quite addictive though. X |

One of the other forums I'm on there is a dedicated Covid section that is run by a guy from a scientific background. It only features evidence backed information, no political slants, no second guessing, just facts.
Then there is the Fab section  |

If summat catches my eye I'll look and comment. But can take it or leave it. Dont watch the news or read newspapers. Bored shitless and sick of hearing about it in general. We just do our bit, stick to the rules by the letter and hope theres light at the end of the tunnel.

You clickbait you. Yeah I'm the same... Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
I'm trying to ween myself off it |

I think most people are quietly shitting themselves wondering when life can return to normal again.. Anything with the headline that includes' virus' will drag them in like a trawl net |

I think most people are sick of it being constantly all over the media.

Likewise, I find the public’s view fascinating/depressing, it does have a draw to it. |

What is bizarre is that the media gleefully and unnecessarily stir things up to provoke any reaction. Many so called stories with little or no facts to back them up or outright lies. And we know they do it. And they know that we know they do it. And still we are hooked by it. Fucking outrageous. |

I’m not sure the media do stir things up, do you have an example?
Hope you’re getting on ok btw and the past weeks have gotten a little easier x |

I'll find some better examples but the way they go after people for breaches of rules and give others a free pass very much sets an agenda. So... Rita ora gets a largely free pass but prem footballer gets ripped a new one. Or the going after uni students endlessly (and yes some have been complete fuckwits) or the lack quality fact based investigative reporting... Or the fawning over captain Tom for a week in Barbados but piers Morgan a cunt for doing the same thing...
Not great examples but I'll set to work on it. And yes thanks for your kind thoughts .. Funeral next week so that will be a bit of closure. |

Yah it's like I don't want to come in, because I know I'm going to see things that will irritate me, but I can't help it.
I usually come in for a bit and then go back to the main forum and look at some boobs to equalise me. |

"I make sure I just get ONE update a day on the virus. I don’t want to hear/read about it constantly
Won't expect to see you till tomorrow then  "
I’m not sure this counts as a reliable daily update |

I do read it and wish I didnt as I dnt even watch the news. The know all. The doom and gloomers makes me so depressed but still I'm drawn. Ive even been going to delete my account because im sick of it. But it reels you back.
Im sure I will get the keyboard warriors coming in a minute. |

Me too! Even having news channels playing in the background makes me feel depressed .... it's all the negative energy from the constant bad news on repeat |

It's the only FAB forum I look at or that interests me. I'm a news junkie and like to stay in top of past, current and emerging developments as much as possible. |

Even easier if, like me, you don't have a telly. Only had them for secondary reasons. First when my mother came to stay for a while when my dad died. Then when two of us were here and both working and had time to sit down in the evenings.
I hardly know what most politicians look like. never seen Piers Morgan or the oft mentioned Laura Kuenssberg. I'm the ideal person for celebs to meet on their travel as I genuinely wouldn't be an arse licking fawning sycophant. Would make a pleasant change for them!
As a result, most of my 'viral' news comes via this site, ironically.

even the questions the ask at the daily briefings were ridiculous ... weeks and weeks of pushing for dates of when we would start to reopen last summer and then as soon as we did question after question criticising it had happened too soon ... it appeared they just wanted to be the voice of the angry mob no matter what side the angry mob were on that day |

The journalist questions at the briefings have been an embarrassment really.
Maybe if Ant and Dec did the briefings they would be happier. Or Piers Morgan and Meghan Markle. |

Hopefully the virus message board will get moved down somewhere between Cycling and the Cacos islands and we can enjoy our lifestyle without all the doom and gloom |

Do you need someone to hold your hand? Ask them to move your mouse click to a different forum. It's really quite easy to avoid forum sections if you know how. |
