| Comment | I think the thing that gets me is that there has been so much handwringing and catastrophising for especially the last month, but also before...
that if we actually *did* see soars in cases/deaths and an actual *even more* dangerous or deadly variant now (than the Indian), and actually did each and every one of us *have* to be more cautious for the sake of public health, a lot of people at this stage wouldn't believe it and wouldn't modify their behaviour, because the calls on us have been so overblown and disproportionate thus far.
And then we'd really be in the shit. Hopefully it won't come to that, but they really have burnt a ton of people's goodwill and willingness to help out with this continual 'just one more week' stuff, and the continued lack of acknowledgement of the real and measurable struggles outside of covid people have been undergoing to keep to these restrictions. |
