They have a population over a billion, and third world hospital system. 5% is more than enough to sink them

It's like when they say  covid has "a 99% survival rate." For one thing, that is incorrect use of terminology. Also, that would be a 1% case mortality rate, compared to .1% for the flu.
I think it’s actually 0.01% for the flu.

No way. Influenza is a killer.

It's weird to me that people don't take it seriously. It's also weird to me that people think it gives you diarrhea.

I think the correct term would actually be case fatality rate. .1% is accurate for seasonal flu. The CFR for covid-19 is more like 1.7%.

You will. When the case rate drops. Which happens if enough people get the vaccine.

Lowest case rate in the country - Bear Republic.

I had to go to Colorado to see my Dad, it was quite a culture shock. Bars pretty much fully open, people would wear masks as they entered, and when going to order or to the bathroom, but this bar had 70-ish people in it, mixed households at single tables, etc...

And... Colorado is now spiking. And not just cases, Hospitalizations.

The people in New Zealand are were locked down, wearing masks, etc...
They have COVID under control, and now they are not locked down nor wearing masks.

Is this some corner case example where a non-authoritarian regime took freedoms away, then gave them back because they are not authoritarian?

But the California government is authoritarian, so we will be wearing masks and never go to a bar again?

I wonder, when the US had rationing coupons for butter and gasoline during WW2, was that a freedom being taken away by an authoritarian regime? What happened there, Ike got elected and overthrew the authoritarianism of Trumanism?

The Stalinists at the CDC still want vaccinated people wearing masks outside hiking with other vaccinated people! *checks notes* oh, wait, nevermind.
