A recent survey found that although around half of Americans wanted to keep up with news concerning the coronavirus epidemic, 51 percent of adults surveyed said that they were seeking out news that is unrelated to the virus. As of May 2020, news fatigue surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak is apparent, with a significant proportion of the population tired of news concerning coronavirus, and the majority searching for information on unrelated topics.
