.... or does this footage rapidly lose its impact?
I sort of feel 'Yes, we know, and if the first months of footage failed to shock and awe, this won't!'. If anything, all it does is to numb people.
Ditto the non-contextualised rolling statistics.
Do you think it's an actual strategy, to bombard us with this? If it is, I fear it's not working.
FTR I'm coalface, Covid facing, full PPE NHS, tho not ICU.
But I have got up and personal with Covid that is killing people. Including in ICU.
But I don't think the News' blanket slightly blurry footage of HCPs all kitted up going about their business, interspersed with interviews with sobbing nurses- really helps. I have even heard the 'for God's sake, it's their job' remarks (at the hairdressers, when they were briefly open, TV on).
That person was argued with by her mate, but I do wonder whether too much of this sort of coverage makes people weary of it.

Does anyone find sobbing nurses etc in The News every night, in any way helpful?
