I think there is a propaganda war going on with authorities trying to spread rumours that there will be good News for tenants.
I wonder how many more rumours are in the pipeline.

Reminds me of the story where the people are protesting outside the palace for umeployment and the high prices of grocery. The ruler asks his minister what are these people doing outside my palace. the minister tells him that they have come out of their homes and are doing walks just to keep themselves healthy and fit.
