Fake News?!

Every time I turn on the TV or look at my phone, there's always a headline that has to do with COVID. It;s been like that for six months. Isn't it crazy how long it's been since we could go without masks or stand next to a stranger at a close, uncomfortable distance. "When will it ever go back to being normal" "Will it ever go back to being normal again?" It the same two questions in my mind that are on repeat every day it seems like. 

When looking for information about this pandemic, I usually go to the local news channel like Lex18. Mostly because of how easily I can gain information from their site. They have an app I can download on my phone which makes it accessible. They keep up with national news, as well as, local news. I trust sites like Lexington18, the CDC, and John Hopkins Medical Center updates. These are all sites that are to help keep you updated with COVID cases, nothing politically like most news station. Places I wouldn't go to find information is pretty much any national social media outlook. These are usually bias and political depending on which site you are on. I'm not a huge fan of politics, but I do try to seek what is fake news and what is real. 

Most of my surrounding friends and family think the same way about this pandemic. We usually use local information outputs because of the possibilities of news being altered. We don't usually keep up with it because it doesn't have a personal affect on any of us. Also, we are trying to stay as positive as possible, but it is very hard when the only thing on social media is about the pandemic. 

Hopefully over the next couple of months this pandemic will begin to decrease in severity and life will go back to normal as it was before all this craziness. All I know is #MaskedUp for right now.
