In case it's not obvious: SK has a population of 52M. If that proportion of infections/cases carries over to the US, then it would be higher than any of our peaks so far. Having that many people sick (1.2% of 350M) at once would be a disaster. Even the line cult should be afraid. Imagine if 3M people didn't show up for work one day. Or they had to take 5 days off. Other countries are going to do the right thing and close down again. There goes the supply chain stuff again. No one in the US is going to want to stop it because even the Dems want covid to be over. That means it's going to run through us without any problems. Even if 1% of the infections result in hospitalization, all ICUs will be taken up.
Enjoy whatever we have now while you can. Go out, have your bit of post-covid fun. But get your boosters if you haven't and start preparing for a repeat of 2020.

Cut off the circulation of the virus while it still low. Pretty much should be in every country playbook at this point, well except for libs country of course
I keep seeing how mad more right wing media is at China's policy of covid zero. You keep seeing that it's the wrong thing to do, apparently, to value human life over economic production. Stay mad, western media commetariat I guess, there are still places where the long tendrils of capitalism haven't totally mind wiped the leadership.
It’s kind of fuck at the economic angle too if you lets Covid run wild. Like if you lets a tons of peoples sick and dead, there’s no one left to keep the economy from running, unless those mid level management go down there and do the hard work, which I highly doubt it.
