Coronavirus News Burnout & PSA
All bad news all the time. 2020 started out so well!
Every two years or so, the presidential election cycle starts up. At first, I am engaged and interested and reading and learning about the newer candidates. I watch debates and read articles and check voting records.
And after a few months, I care less and less.
The extremely long election cycle, the constant articles, and the ridiculous amount of money spent on campaigns just are too much.
I get desensitized. I get burned out from it all. By the time the election actually rolls around, many of us are just tired of freaking hearing about it all the time.
News in the time of Coronavirus
With the Coronavirus (COVID-19) sweeping the world, it is completely understandable — and expected — that it is the #1 topic in the news, online, and in everyone’s mind.

Of course, there are still a**holes who go out when they aren’t sick, ones who think they can prevent the virus with essential oils or vegan food, and people who simply don’t understand or care about how diseases spread and are just out there unnecessarily.
