Are those COVID-19 press conferences doing us more harm than good?

It's become an all too familiar ritual for some of us, checking the daily COVID-19 numbers, listening to the Premiers' press conferences and then there's the constant "doomscrolling" of exposure sites.

How does the 24-hour cycle of COVID news make you feel, and is there a better way for authorities and our politicians to deliver the information we need to know?

Guests:

Dr Helen Schultz, Consultant Psychiatrist
Dr Mukesh Haikerwal, former AMA president and pioneer of the first drive in COVID-19 testing site

Duration: 24min 20sec
Broadcast: Wed 18 Aug 2021, 9:05am, on ‘Life Matters’ ABC
