It's important that, during these trying times, we try to stay positive, take care of ourselves both physically and mentally, and support each other in times of crisis. It's the only way we're going to overcome this rampant killer together!

Totally agree. Things already seem to be getting back to normal, izakayas are bustling in my neighborhood, and everyone is feeling more positive. We need to spread the positivity!

Yes, but what about the positivity rate?

Cases slowly on the rise again. Complacency creeping in. Run for the hills!

This is a conspiracy theory.

Agreed. Glad we've turned the corner. It's time to ditch the masks and get back to normal life. First round's on me!

Good to see cases dropping. No need to test if fewer people are getting sick, right?

Looks like numbers are coming down. Vaccines are effective after all. I'm getting my second shot tomorrow.

Vaccines are doin their job.

@CommodoreFlag is right

If this government could pull that off, it would have to be far more competent than you and other posters suggest..

You're all giving this inept government far more credit than it deserves.

No need to panic, people. Yes, cases are rising, but that just means more testing. Vaccines are rolling out like clockwork. We're almost out of the woods. Let's just head down to the Winchester, have a pint, and wait for this whole thing to blow over.

Covid-19 is not polio.

Right, CommodoreFlag

Covid-19 is indeed

Not Polio, duh

Positive rates may be up

But a decline in cases

Is overall positive
