I heard a very interesting scientist on TV (wish I'd written it all down) talking about the differences between now and at the peak of the virus - so, even though the number of cases are going up, basically, only a fraction of the people who now get it are hospitalised as compared to last year's peak; and of those who are hospitalised, again only a fraction of those will die. So, even though cases are rising, it doesn't lead to more deaths. of course, this doesn't include all the effects from Long Covid. Personally, I don't understand why people who can't wear masks can't at least wear face shields? And sorry, but I seriously doubt that all those people wearing lanyards to exempt them from wearing masks really need them (when anyone can buy them from Amazon). I tend to give them a wide berth.
