I'm feeling worried about the rise in cases, it's over 22,000 today and seems to be rising exponentially again.

The experts aren't sure why. It could be Delta variant (much more transmissible) or relaxation of guidelines and people dropping their guard. Also waning immunity from previous infection and vaccination was mentioned but not in detail.

I'm trying to stop my worries bounding out of control, the death rate is not high so far although hospitalizations are up.

We also have a new health minister (last one resigned for breaking social distancing while having an affair with a colleague, you couldn't make it up) and he's adamant all restrictions will be removed on the 19th July.

I'm actually very distrustful of this government and very worried about what will happen next. I don't want any more full miserable lockdowns but I don't want this virus to rage unbounded either. I can't see there's going to be a happy ending.
