Thanks for your post. I avoid the news completely as much as possible. (My spouse reads the newspaper & watches the news on TV though. So I can't avoid it entirely.)

Personally, I think I was at least somewhat addicted to the internet before the current health situation developed. So that hasn't changed much. Actually, though, I've been surprised at how little activity there seems to be on a couple of forum-type websites I visit. PC seems to have picked up recently. But there was a period of time, more toward the beginning the current health situation, when it seemed pretty quiet here as well. Perhaps everyone's watching movies on Netflix?
