2 hours a day, roughly 1/4 of what it used to be.

Made sweet Tableau dashboards to track NYC, Italy, the UK, and USA - so I get the stats I need quickly now and just skim for any other headlines.

Zero. Watching the news makes me depressed and anxious. I simply stay home and do my part as a citizen.

NY, how crazy is your job right now?!?

I listen to a 10 min daily update podcast

I read the NYT briefings in the morning. I then check it off and on all day. I can’t watch broadcast at all. Wish I could make myself stop reading about it

Never watched TV news about it. Been following WSJ and NY Post alerts but had to turn the latter off.

I try to limit it to Governor Cuomo in the morning and then Governor Pritzker and Mayor Lightfoot in the afternoons. Skipping news until David Muir comes on. Then local news at 10PM. Try not to check articles on my phone. Becomes too time consuming and depressing.

Too much. I’m downgrading to 30 minutes once per day during the week because it’s all their is and it’s just too much.

0 hours because I am trying to keep my energy positive. I know what I need to do to keep the virus away, so I do that without the fear.

A lot! I need to find something to distract myself

I am a career nanny who previously owned and operated her own nanny referral agency in Hawaii for five years...then Covid came along and wiped it right out of business since March 2020. I feel like my entire identity has been taken from me especially with Covid and vaccine mandates. I'm not looking to go 20 years backwards-I no longer want to be the nanny and work that hard however nothing interests me! I really don't want to go back to school and thousands of dollars in loans etc. etc.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)
