I saw those images, it was surreal even online so I have no idea what you're feeling.
I have a couple constant doom and gloom panickers in my world too. I dont know how to react other than try to offer perspective or more hopeful news. it doesn't seem to work, I dont want to discount them because I have major anxiety behind all this too, but I dont want to feed it either because it's so unhealthy in its own right. There are a couple people on my news feed I had to mute. These are people I'm not necessarily close to and it's just a constant stream of who died in the last hour, or any article that lays out the worst projections, of false recoveries or healthy young people dying
I get that everyone has their own way of dealing, but I'm not trying to curl up in a ball of fear.
