Added by hard headed beings who can't even stay at a minimum health standard distances plus preventions, no doubt that this would affect more and more people. Vaccines aren't even convincing that these can prevent you to have COVID anymore but rather save you for certain death.
Sadly this is true. Even among my friend circle, some of the individuals went for tour outings and excursions last month saying that the pandemic is under control and they are feeling suffocated because of staying at home for so long. And in one case, the individuals came back infected and spread the infection to the members of their housing society. And I was going through the pictures uploaded in FaceBook. In none of the pictures I could find anyone wearing a mask.
