(26,507 posts)What I've been hearing on the news is that this country is normalizing. The States are opening up and dropping the mask mandates, social distancing and everything is opening up again.
Ticker tape parades. 4th of July BBQ's. Broadway re-opening. etc, etc, etc.
We see the number of Covid cases going down. We see the hospitalizations going down. And the death count is also down.
What they fail to report is that the cases, the hospitalizations and the deaths that they ARE reporting are heavily weighted to people that haven't been vaccinated.
They need to drive that message home to the American People and they really aren't. They are concentrating on the normalization - but not on the critical info that - un-vaccinated people are the ones that are succumbing to Covid.
They are setting us up with a false sense of security and what worries me is that at some point in the future - due to the anti-vaxxers and the new virus variants - we're going to see a surge again and may even have to go back into lock-down.
We're not out of the woods yet people.
