#2I'm so exhausted and demoralised by this endless cascade of things-getting-worse. It's taking a really big toll on my mental health and there's no resources available in my country to offer support (and there's nothing to be done except try to learn to live with it, anyways). The future looks bleak.

I.e., Delta is more likely to get you sick, but you’ll still turn out fine.

Things are not getting worse. The world is going back to normal.

since the dawn of time its been possible to spin a bleak future at any point in history. In the 900s for example they thought the world was gonna end in 1000AD with the rapture.

Then turn off the news. You need to look for actual signals such as availability of emergency services. Hospital capacity.

This research paper shows the vaccines are highly effective against the delta variant: "Conclusions: After 2 doses of either vaccine there were only modest differences in vaccine effectiveness with the B.1.617.2 variant." The efficacy drop was about 5-6%.

Things are getting better, just not as quickly as one would like them to. I’d rather have people tell me the facts than lie and pretend like everything is fine.

Give yourself permission to do two things:
* Feel good about the things you are doing that make a positive difference, however small.
* Don’t feel guilt about the things that aren’t under your control, however big.
P.S. Nobody is in control and the only way big positive differences ever happen is because of the aggregate of small positive differences that everyone makes.
