It's going away. New cases, hospitalizations and deaths all trending downwards. The only thing the media can grasp on to is the occasional expected cluster, typically at colleges where there is .0001% risk.

(scroll down) Police to crack down on ‘tinfoil hat-wearing brigade’
Police have arrested a 76-year-old Windsor man for allegedly planning a protest against coronavirus restrictions in Melbourne’s CBD next weekend.
He was charged with inciting people to breach the Chief Health Officer’s directives and could face a $20,000 fine.
Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius again warned that protests are unlawful under stage 4 restrictions, and anyone who joined them could face serious penalties.
Protesters in Dandenong, in Melbourne’s south-east, have taken to the streets every evening for the last five days against coronavirus restrictions...
Assistant Commissioner Cornelius said the protesters were trying to use exercise as an excuse for protesting when approached by police...
Protesters were “taking every opportunity to leverage the current situation to serve their own ridiculous notions” about conspiracies such as “how 5G is going to kill your grandkids”.
“It’s batshit crazy nonsense,” he said.
“People need to wake up to themselves ... and you need to stop it.
“Just for one moment stop thinking about yourselves and spare a thought for the loved ones of nearly 500 Victorians who have died so far.”

26 Aug: Reuters: Berlin bans protest against coronavirus curbs
by Rene Wagner; Writing by Emma Thomasson
The city of Berlin will put thousands of police on the streets at the weekend to enforce a ban on demonstrations opposing measures imposed to stem the coronavirus pandemic after marchers at a recent rally failed to wear masks or keep their distance.
Andreas Geisel, the Berlin interior senator, said the authorities had decided to ban the protest after weighing up the importance of the right to freedom of assembly with the need to protect people against infection...
Early in the pandemic, Berlin police detained more than 100 people at an unauthorised demonstration against the lockdown. In June, police in the Netherlands detained some 400 people at a protest against social distancing measures.

the 5-hr video which now requires signing in which, in the first five minutes, shows crowd north, south, east, west - you can’t see where it ends in any direction. if it wasn’t 1.3m, it certainly wasn’t 20,000:

I’ve noticed the covid statistics are no longer being trumpeted on every single radio newsbreak like they were from the mid-June crisis revival onward.
I did hear some clown interviewed early today who said that there are “concerning spikes” in Illinois, Minnesota, blah, blah, blah. I didn’t catch his name but he’s a Fox News “medical analyst”.
Any straw they can grasp.
“This COVID junk has to stop”
“It’s going away.”
Covid itself is practically history. But the Covid JUNK will NOT stop. Within a week “they” will come up with new and scarier narratives to keep people in fear and in masks. Masks never are going away.
