The world adjusted and we've done a lot better job protecting those vulnerable classes. The younger people getting it now have much lower mortality. basically no more than the flu. some countries such as Sweden, Brazil and many of the African counts (HCQ for malaria) are largely through the high risk classes. death rates for people under 40 would have been nominal with or without shutting down the world. Especially if they had avoided ventilators, used nebulizer steroids at first symptoms and been more agressive in use of the anti malarials such as HCQ which seems to inhibit the full blown cases.
the chinese won the first big skirmish in WW III which won't be fought with conventional weapons but instead economic, cyber and biological warfare. the next battle be much worse. we are badly weakened economically and spirit wise with the exception of some countries like Sweden. we also seem to have lost the will to stand up to dictators and tyrants. If you treat your own people as bad as the CCP and some of the other autocratic regimes you'll have no problem treating other countries worse.
I'll lay off. I know I'm a debbie downer on this matter.
