I don't believe there's a single one of them wants to feel responsible for any more deaths. The press should pipe down for the sake of us all. If it were me I'd ban them from the daily briefing.
I totally agree, but perhaps should not comment (going to anyway) as we have not watched a single TV news in over 6 weeks, even turn the BBC radio news off. I do follow on BBC internet news but at least I can open or ignore articles as I want.

But I have found the news and journalistic "blame culture" approach to it so depressing it winds me up more than the virus. This also goes for some forums with what I would term political agitators posting endless blame that inevitably start with "The Guardian article says........". I have left one forum and rarely log onto another. Probably most complainers have never in their lives been in a managerial position faced with making choices about very complex issues - instantly.

There will be much talk about mental health after this, personally I think the negative press approach and public internet moaning will do more harm than anything else.
