In many (most?) developed countries, citizens are automatically getting information on changes to the lockdown rules by SMS. So, there really is no need to read the news to hear about further restrictions. As other have mentioned, it only foments anxiety.

It’s not just about restrictions but also new discoveries and a more nuanced coverage than what the big media and government decides to tell us.

Anything that can support critical and informed thinking really.

I'd be surprised if even 5% of that coverage is actionable in any way.
