I really wish they would stop reporting case numbers as a meaningful figure now with 92% of the population fully vaccinated. Because it isn't and all it does is scare people.
The important figures are hospital and ICU numbers and if you look at those from yesterday they've increased by just 6 from 543 to 549, and ICU numbers have decreased by 1 from 97 to 96.
That's a truer state of where we are at in terms of the battle with this thing, when the last bad wave hit us in January there was TRIPLE the amount of people in hospital. This is only from 11th Jan, I think it actually got worse...

I know the raw figures can seem overwhelming but it's so important to see how far we've come in battling this bloody thing. Yes we're seeing a bit of another wave but it's nothing like it was before because of a single key element and that's vaccination.
