I personally love your articles. Do not pressure yourself, if you have any great thoughts, send them out, relax and enjoy life, I hope to see more of your posts in the future.
Personally, I started pulling back in December. I get more info by checking in infrequently and taking more time to discern what I am reading/hearing. My adrenal glands are much happier. I look forward to your next post.
I have felt the anxiety that the constant bombardment of “things that could go wrong” especially when my daughter was very young. News of unfortunate events are easy to come by and suddenly I had many things to worry about that I hadn’t been prepared to worry about (SIDS, drowning, brain-eating amoebas, electric shock drowning - we frequent lakes a lot and it seems FB algorithms know that so here’s heart wrenching stories of things that went bad at the lake). I found myself caught up emotionally in many of these stories. In fact there was a local first grader who drowned on vacation at a nearby lake which kinda escalated my worries at bringing my 4 year old to the lake in a few weeks (needless to say we have all survived our many lake vacations).
I feel like that was a primer for Covid. I knew better than to let the media make me disbelieve what I saw with my own eyes. It’s okay to understand the danger, but it is not okay to persuade fear to be the main driving force of your life. I look forward to reading more of your suggestions!
I support you taking a break from writing about covid. I have gotten a lot from your substacks, they have been a great support during this stressful time in my life. 💜

Right on! To paraphrase the late great John Prine's chorus in Spanish Pipedream:
Blow up the smart phone
Throw away the internet
Move to the country
Build us a home
Plant a little garden
Eat a lot of peaches
try find peace then
On our own

This is why we can’t let up just yet.
