Yeah, exactly, that’s what bothers me - the risk exists, and the more that media spreads this kind of sensationist shit, the more likely that when a new variant does cause a surge in infections, people will ignore those headlines and that guidance because they’ve been desensitised.
I think the only disconnect we have is that I think different people will take this story in different ways. Some of the people in this thread I think are in the minority that is very worried about covid and the real effects its having on them or their loved ones and to them this article isn’t sensationalist.
Generally I agree with you though, most people will take an article like this as proof that the media is always full of shit and fearmongering for money and that feeling isn’t unfounded.
