What we can expect, is business as usual. It’s articles like this stirring unnecessary fear among the community.

Fear mongering is an interesting thing. You have people who call articles about COVID or climate change fear mongering. Then you have other people who called the NO campaign fear mongering. And there seems to be zero overlap between those 2 groups.

I suppose what separates the no campaign’s fear mo ngering was that they weren’t spreading fear about a real problem, more stuff like “they’re coming for your land” or “they’ll be a third house of parliament”. All things verifiably wrong just by reading the proposed alteration. However, published literature from any reputable scientist will tell you climate change and covid are real problems to be worried about

According to past experience, if this wave is any serious, the gov will wait until too late to take any action to reduce potential deaths because Christmas business takes priority

What is fearmongering in this article? It’s just laying out the facts.
There’s still plenty to be concerned about with covid. Long covid symptoms can be highly impactful and studies are finding new evidence about long term damage. If you don’t care about that then by all means go and lick some strangers but some of us are still trying to avoid catching it.
