Yes, the newly afraid are those facing charges of global genocide. Hence the walkback. Don't let them off the hook. Mengele has nothing on them.

I'll believe it when I see it....I'm not antivax or anti mask or a conspiracy theorist. I just want to see Covid go the way of the Spanish Flu!!!

Excellent point. I've seen this same argument elsewhere. Country X does this, why doesn't Thailand?! 

As if Thailand (or any country) has to do what some other country does, at the same time, in the same way. 

Sorry, your holiday may be delayed.

Don't mind the pandemic, the dead bodies will be removed shortly.
