Why does most media (except news) avoid mentioning Coronavirus? (lemmy.ml)

I noticed this while listening to music, but it seems to be similar in other media such as twitch streams. You would think that such an important would be mentioned a lot because it affects everyone, but it seems to be strongly avoided.

Mostly thirding this, I'll admit I don't see anything on say the Youtube front page, but I suspect that's because they're blanket censoring everything covid19 related. Its not as easy to find Dr. Campbell's stuff as it used to be last year, at least for me.

Wouldn't surprise me if record labels are following suit and have a blanket ban or heavy limitation on the word.

Lastly, people don't like to focus on the negatives and if they're gaming its usually for lighthearted enjoyment.

Just checked youtube and (at least on my machine) there is an entire COVID-19 section right below the trending videos. It's all major news networks though.
