First time they pushed out an "emergency alert" for COVID nonsense I turned them off.

COVID-19 messages make emergency alerts just another text in the crowd on your home screen
Thanks for the context. I see why you would want to turn off the alerts. That’s definitely an irritating misuse of the system.
