Fear mongering is an interesting thing. You have people who call articles about COVID or climate change fear mongering. Then you have other people who called the NO campaign fear mongering. And there seems to be zero overlap between those 2 groups.
I suppose what separates the no campaign's fear mongering was that they weren't spreading fear about a real problem, more stuff like "they're coming for your land" or "they'll be a third house of parliament". All things verifiably wrong just by reading the proposed alteration. However, published literature from any reputable scientist will tell you climate change and covid are real problems to be worried about
According to past experience, if this wave is any serious, the gov will wait until too late to take any action to reduce potential deaths because Christmas business takes priority
