People are giving up getting tested, so case numbers will drop, what's the point now. If you get tested and found to be positive you have to isolate for an extended period even if mild symptoms. If you found not isolating $5000 fine.
So, don't get tested and stay home until you feel better, just like a cold.
Your right, people are giving up testing. The beach town I work in has a population of about 7000, have had like a handful of cases in the last 2 years, no real dramas. Everyone testing all the time.
Now 6 people I work with have it, ones in hospital, plenty of others in town with sore throats/runny noses etc but very few get tested anymore.
Some wear masks, plenty dont wear masks. People signing in is getting less and less.
Majority around here are just living life as normal and only getting tested if really really sick and need medical treatment.
Most here are vaxed and just enjoying life as normal now, traveling OS, live bands etc, back to how it was before covid.
The only place people seem worried and talking about it now is the unvaxed few on here, I can understand your fear I guess
