Daily infections have risen to 3000.
This is a huge and very concerning jump. It could perhaps be explained away in terms of old data catching up, although I'm not sure how that improves things. In my ill informed opinion this is pretty grim news. Time will tell, as it ever does. If we have to lockdown again I fear that it will not stick. The government has lost any authority it may have had, which wasn't much to begin with given that it already waited too long or the initial lockdown. Even the WHO thinks that 50,000 lives could have been saved had we done things properly. The editor of the Lancet has been similarly excoriating.
This time it will not stick. Too much freedom has been given and without proper guidance or a model of responsibility from our useless overlords people will simply ignore it. Either that or the tone of the anti lockdown maskless morass will grow ever more shrill. I do not think these tensions in society can go anywhere positive at the moment. They could be directed, but that's going to take a lot of work from a very divided left. Our society is riven with divisions, all caused by one group of people. They stand unrepentant, slathered in blinding ignorance like mirrors in the sun.
They don't
They won't
Care,
Not going to lie my mental health has taken a bit of a dive with this news.
