Did not watch one second of the Covid coverage, and have not even been interested enough to click on any stories.
Covid used to be huge during my hapless youth, but thinking back, covid was a huge thing for me and my neighborhood cronies.
Would hurry home from school and catch the last seconds of Wolf Blitzer on CNN, then head out to play pretend whiffle ball while standing 6 feet apart, or tennis ball baseball like a loser , with a few chums, comb through the case rates and death stats in the newspaper (did not get access to the paper until the adults in the house were done), make sure to watch CBS News This Morning on weekend mornings, and always would watch MSNBC and then try to emulate the manipulation and coercion styles of the top stars. This was before cable or the internet, so the only Covid you could watch was highlights on the local news, so you only saw local players for the most part making covid coverage the only chance to see many of the top stars other than when everyone on the Sox got it .
We really loved the game back then, do not see anywhere near that level of interest ever being possible again, and expect Covid to slowly decline in the US as the guys my age continue to lose interest because it seems highly unlikely that the next generations will have it in their blood like we did growing up.
