Rising cases but so what?

The “so what” is it keeps this government in panic mode. And people too. They make sure people are panicked by telling us that 14% are under 18 while 11% are over 65. So everyone is equally affected. Well, only if you leave out the hospitalisation and deaths. Which continue to skew heavily to the elderly like me. They report a three-year-old girl is in hospitals. Yes, but thankfully that’s a vanishingly rare example. We must do away with “analysis by anecdote”. 
ADDED: It’s worth going to the comments at this article. They are hammering the government (me included!).
