I'm a little confused. I agree with some of your sentiment, but are developments w/r/t COVID not important?

OP has heard of COVID. It would be impossible not to. I follow a similar approach (avoiding news as much as possible) and I still am exposed to much more information about COVID than is useful.

So relying on informal networks to pass on the key information? That's actually a really sensible strategy. I retract my argument.

You outsource it. Like I’m not on FB but my wife is.
