Most of us don’t have the time or mental capacity to check the news or medical reports on an hourly or daily basis. It’s not because we don’t want to be informed, but it's become nearly impossible to keep up, especially on top of everything we’re dealing with at home and at work.It’s affecting the healthcare workers who are at the forefront of this fight and it’s also affecting individuals mental well being and causing anxiety to surge.
