Obsessing over the news for absurd chunks of your day? Im sorry if I don't really follow. Why are your making excuses as if there are literally no other options. Guess what, if you have access to the internet, there are other things to do right there alone.
You're making it sound like people need this lost income to do anything other than spend their time digging up numbers and worrying about this or that with the virus. Really? We're a very lost (my auto correct put lousy and I almost kept it) society if that's the case.
Hey guys take a break from the news and death and reports for a bit.... "but there's nothing else to do!!!"
Sounds legit.
