I think it makes sense to keep monitoring the numbers because that allows us to be aware of any new strains etc, however, i think the daily obsession with the numbers increases anxiety levels too much. People are in the most part doing all they can do to protect themselves, and nothing creates more stress and anxiety than something we have no control over and that has very lasting long term side effects.

Again, the media need to back off a bit. 24 hour news channels where it is the only topic is just not healthy for anyone. We all need balance in our lives and fixative reporting and scare mongering is not helpful. Of course, report the news, but do it in a balanced way without ridiculous headlines designed for shock and awe
