Is life in the U.S.A really as catastrophic and terrible as the media makes it out to be?

I'm sorry about that, and I feel you. Must be depressing to have a family member panicking about events that don't affect her, her family, not even her state. I'm not the kinda guy to make suggestions, but you should support and take care of your mom while she's still around. What you're talking about here is exactly the reason why I've been trying to avoid bad news in general, especially radical left and right news sources.

panicking about events that don't affect her

How do you think covid does not effect her?

I think the very argument that "it doesn't effect you therfore you should ignore it" is increadibly short sighted. Everything in society effects you eventually. The effects reverberate through society, shape it, and touch everything.

Those arguments are made by people who are on the wrong side.
