"As we head into another winter, Covid numbers have been ticking up. But how worried should we be about Covid these days – can we treat it like a cold, or have we become blase about an illness that could still pose a threat to elderly and clinically vulnerable people?"
Yes, people have become completely apathetic towards COVID. People except for the elderly, those with chronic illnesses, and those who just want to protect themselves and from loved ones from getting COVID and dealing with its damage.
"The prospect of a new variant causing a dramatic resurgence may be receding but scientists remain alert to this possibility and continue to monitor the emergence of new strains – although England has dropped its wastewater surveillance programme. 'It’s a confusing time,” said Prof Danny Altmann, an immunologist at Imperial College London. “If you live in my world, where you’re still looking at sequences of viruses, we’ve still got our guard up. But nobody has the stomach for that fight any more.'"
Read those last 2 sentences again. That's the whole problem with the lack of response to COVID.
I dread to think what this winter will bring.
