Recent social media activity, particularly on platforms like TikTok, reflects public dissatisfaction with the government's handling of the situation. One video, featuring a young woman lip-syncing to a popular audio track, has garnered significant attention. The video overlays a news report announcing a forthcoming price drop, yet the woman's expressions and the overall tone of the video suggest skepticism.
