Covid-19 cases might be going up and up and down and up, but they did not yet “slump”. Don’t sensationalise the news like commercial television, for instance. Even the ABC is not totally immune to imitate their commercial colleagues.

It seems the community are tired of COVID so prefer to pretend it’s gone. For immunocompromised people this makes the community and the workplace scary as anything. Caution is being thrown to the wind with no concern left as we enter flu season and force the vulnerable back into the office. Numbers drop every weekend. The weekly numbers are actually up. With the vulnerable forced back into the office I fear deaths will be up shortly too.
