Do what's best for "you." People's negativity and I agree with the other poster propaganda can seem just as contagious as the virus.
I do the same, look at locals online, no tv. Go out for jogging and food and at home the rest of the time.
Just asking honestly, does RF contribute to your feelings?
There's "news" pretty much every other new thread. I skip majority of them.
RF is what I make it. I don't click on titles that I know will bother me, be it news or subjects which are tender to me that I don't want to argue about(or topics that just bring out the same side show again and again).
Because I'm able to sift through what I should be reading, I'd say RF contributes mostly to positive feelings. If it doesn't, I'm on the wrong thread, and I move on.
