If I’m interpreting your comment correctly, I have to disagree that the tide isn’t turning over the virus. IMHO, the tide is turning because of the hypocrisy and getting caught.
Pork Pie Putsch: How Some Tories are Plotting to Overthrow Boris Johnson
Ever since news of a number of allegedly lockdown breaking gatherings emerged in the press, Johnson has since been — increasingly desperately — working to recover his party’s popularity as well as his own, deploying so-called “Operation Red Meat” policies to win back wavering voters.
That has nothing to do with how severe covid is. This is all politics as far as I’m concerned.
I agree with you 100% – this is all politics. The fact that those in power don’t take covid seriously is ample proof that it is not truly a deadly disease. Every time the politicians get caught acting hypocritically the more the public refuses to comply.
