Sure are! If only it had not been so hyped by the media (daily positive counts, death counts, ICU bed counts, etc. on all our local and national news channels several times a day) and so politicized, I believe people would not have so paralyzed by fear. It was a very serious situation, but the fear that gripped so many people was horrible too, and it came from the constant "reporting".
Your pictures brings several things to mind.... one is that life is like a bubble.
It's beautiful, but can be so easily popped and gone.

We are still in lockdown here in Ireland. Maybe some restrictions will be eased in May, depending on the fall in numbers. We still have a long way to go before life returns to some form of normality We are all sick and tired of it all by now.

Yes I agree.......I am so ready for an end to this plague and I truly hope that I did learn the lesson that it was supposed to teach me.

WE ARE FAR FROM DONE WITH COVID. WE ARE UNDER A NEW SORT OF RESTRICTION SYSTEM: RATHER THAN BEING IN LOCKDOWN, WE ARE KNOW IN LOCKOUT. IN OTHER WORDS WE CAN AND SHOULD BE OUTDOORS AS LONG AS POSSIBLE RATHER THAN STAYING COODED UP INDOORS. CERTAIN STORES ARE CLOSED BUT WE CAN STILL HAVE A HAIRCUT OR BUY BOOKS. GO FIGURE. VACCINATION IS VERY SLOW AND THE END IS NOWHERE IN SIGHT.

Latest then, when you took the questionable vaccine and still have to wear the mask, keep distance, etc. , your leftover brain cells should start thinking. Who are the losers, who are the winners of this pandemic plan? Easter is coming (NOT)...........

The media was responding to the ignorance of those who disregarded the danger......And it was politicised by the President, who defied the Science and encouraged the spread ........541,000 deaths and who knows how many with permanent health issues.........It looked absolutely insane down there with the President and his followers talking about injecting bleach, shining light through the skin, demon semen, herbal cures, ineffectual drugs, rallies without masks....anti-maskers, Q-anon......And through all that insanity, the media was doing it's level best to educate the populace.......

Quoting Dr. Teresa Tam, Canada's Chief Public Health Officer,

Tam said "she doesn't like to “forecast too early” and it is still in the early weeks of flu season, but “it's definitely looking good at this point.”

“We have an extraordinarily low number of influenza cases, despite testing at a higher rate than what we normally do,” Tam said at a news
conference in Ottawa Tuesday afternoon.

The most recent national flu report says in the first week of November, not one province or territory reported a single patient hospitalized
with the flu, compared with 60 during the same week a year ago.

In 2019, provinces reported 147 lab-confirmed cases of flu the first week of November. This year, they reported four.

The average number of lab-confirmed flu cases by now over the last six years is 818. So far this year countrywide, there have been just 17."

All those who still believe in the most deadly pandemic will wake up sooner or later. I'll send you a link of the 44th session of the Corona Committee. It is the part where Vera Sharav from Israel talks. The whole session lasts more than 5 hours, her part is about 1 hour and 10 minutes long. From time to time a German lawyer gives a brief summary of what she says. It is worth listening.

If you are referring to the idiocy of conservative America, the Trump administration and the thousands of lies that Trump told...none of which were HYPE, well that would be a reality. Everything else however is frankly bizarre...golly.

We have a Democrat governor who has locked down our state pretty tightly. Our local news channel, which we watch every day, is an affiliate of NBC and definitely not a conservative news show. The local news is broadcast every morning, every noon, and 4, 5, 6, and 10 pm. Every news show, every day, gave the statistics and warnings. and reinforced the governors rules. It seemed like brainwashing and fear dominated everything for a long time.

giving information that is factually correct and reporting statistics and rules that keep people safe doesn't meet the definition of "brainwashing'......News outlets always report the news at regular intervals....that is the nature of news. broadcasts..... Why would you listen to or watch news broadcasts every hour or half hour if makes you so fearful?.......

Each person is responsible for their own feelings......Of course people are afraid during a pandemic, but pretending it's not happening just perpetuates the problem........The evidence of carelessness or not following rules in this situation is clear.....If everyone had treated this pandemic as the experts recommended, it would have greatly reduced the deaths, the infection rates and thus the fear.......

They are talking about British Columbia going into the third phase because of the variant that is spreading. So we are definitely not finished with Covid. I am hoping to book my first appointment for the vaccination next week. The wearing of the mask will be mandatory for a while yet.

Apparently, my language is too colloquial for this site......When I say...."We are so done with Covid", I don't mean Covid is over, I mean we are tired of dealing with Covid.........Maybe the expression is more local than I thought.

I agree..

It's doesn't explain the issue....It's the answer to the issue..
They are not answering the problem...they are explaining Why this problem has become so severe and has continued to this point.

They see trump as giving them a choice.. They see Liberals taking away their choice..

The answer is in the question....Why would they even consider it a choice
?

I have to wonder how many lives were saved by the media doing it's job... and thank God we have some "media' that isn't cowed by the thieves in US Government.
