While I think there should still be some coverage of the war in Ukraine, I think by now people know there's still a war going on there.

Covid was being covered in the news fairly steadily for the past copule years.  It seemed like I'd hear something about covid pretty much every day in the news, though that seems to be tapering off now too.

How much news coverage of something do we need?  It seems at some point, it becomes fairly common knowledge of what's going on currently.
