Thanks. Best thing I could do is really get back into cycling! 2019 and before I was cycling 50-100 miles a week around London and now I'm not I can see that it really did me good. I should stop reading stolen bike thread, bike jacking threads, etc, as a justification for staying indoors / on phone.

Ah yes, fortunately there's been no human to human transmission of bird flu. Phew!

Funnily enough the reasons you've said you dislike The Times are the same reasons why I dislike The Guardian. But I'm generally happier not reading either, they're both goady by design.
More and more I find my consumption of news is just a proxy for anxiety I feel about my own life and my own, limited, sphere of influence. E.g. last week as I mentioned, eight family members including four over 70s and two NHS workers were on holiday in Wales. I was convinced there'd be a Covid outbreak but apparently it didn't happen! My circular COVID browsing definitely shot up as a form of dissociated distraction, however.

Gen X erasure is real :(
That's interesting to hear. Yes I've felt invincible riding between buses etc when I've been back on my bike. Since buses a bit more visible and predictable threat than a microscopic particle.
Have seen a few photos of bikes totalled by left turning vehicles too so need to keep alert, the old threats are still there. But the payoff from cycling in terms of endorphins, fitness, and just greater engagement with the external world, is thankfully all still there too!
