The excessive fearmongering from the government and media continues here. I am so sick of it. What was the point of becoming one of the most vaccinated countries in the world, if we are still being scolded because case numbers are up (but nearly all asymptomatic or mild cases)? There was also a tirade from a news anchor that people let down their guard by daring to not use a mask outside, which is permitted. The ICUs are close to empty. At this point the Covid numbers they report are like trying to count every sniffle during a non-Covid fall/winter and make people hysterical about it.
