Notice that the FOCUS continues to be on "new cases" and NOT on any out-of-control DEATH rate.
The tactic continues to be... "frighten and alarm the SHEEP" by broadcasting the infection rate. Yet, many of those infected have ALREADY been vaccinated.
Those who understand how vaccines function would expect the above. Because Vaccines DO NOT BUILD a shroud of bullet proof glass around the body. If you get close to infected person, the virus material will float into your respiratory system (unless you stop breathing, which I do not recommend). And you will get infected and could test positive.
That is where the vaccine comes in. Those jabs have prepared your body with anti-bodies waiting to kill the virus when it floats into your body. And being vaccinated, you will have much better chance of defeating the virus before you end up in the isolation ward of a hospital.
And you are correct about focus on new cases but not deaths.
In my common sense opinion, a case is more good than bad. By getting the virus in your body your body can start building anti-bodies, which is path towards herd immunity.
