The point is that they were wrong, not that they were happy.
They reversed course and deleted the video. Masks have returned. The video was like Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” photo op in 2003 to declare the end of the Iraq war. He was happy too, but wrong.
- angelzen 5y agoThe point it that they were hopeful. Piling on them, even if wrong, is distasteful.
- graeme 5y agoHold it. Those aren’t just regular people being happy. They’re leaders in what is equivalent to a wartime situation. When they’re wrong, people die.

Without more context, the video could as well be the inauguration of the corner icecream shop. Frankly, I have little interest in quibbling with those that have made 'cumulative deaths with covid per million' the ultimate measure of human worth and achievement. Have a great day.
