“Toxic-Media Avoidance” is Prescribed to Survive the Pandemic

This may be one of the weirdest St. Patrick’s Day in our nation’s history, aside from when it may have been celebrated, or at least remembered, during wartime. If anyone would have predicted a year ago that the world would be in such a predicament on St. Patrick’s Day this year that it would have to be canceled, many people would have thought they would have had too much green beer and they needed to go home and sleep it off. It may have been viewed as a weak joke. Nevertheless, with the incredibly heavy influence of the coronavirus, the initial jokes about quarantines for Corona beer, are also not so funny. As COVID-19 is ravaging the nation and the world, it is hard to deal with St. Patrick’s Day anyway, as now we have our own battles to fight in real-time -- like a global pandemic.
