not sure why you're being downvoted. The situation right now is much better than it was during the first wave. (https://imgur.com/nDgb7d7, representative of most countries)

"much better" may be a matter of opinion but it's definitely getting worse.

There are 2500 patients in intensive care in France. Far from the 7000 at the peak but they were just 1000 one month ago and 1500 two weeks ago.

People don't like information that contradicts their convictions. You question the "narrative" and they get upset. Somehow epidemiology became a political question I guess in the us.
Well, it's an election year, unfortunately.
Not in the rest of the world, but it still looks similar. I guess it is just incompetent politicians and bureaucrats being overwhelmed by things.
They're no worse than anyone else. Practically the entire population is panicking.
