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.

    There will be no new shutdown or restrictions. This is the "new normal". Death is normalized and acceptable loss. The treats must flow

            considering how leftists are like less than 1% of the population, that would be absolutely horrifying even if all the leftists come out unscathed

        The only way that will happen is if it speeds through the suburbs in a way that shatters the people who think it’s a hoax in a tangible way. And even then they will probably just say fuck it acceptable losses as their children die.

      Democrats are scared that they will have to keep giving poor people free healthcare.

        If they get their way there’ll be no more healthcare to provide. Can’t run a hospital with no workers

      This is America, it's never not been that way. COVID-19 just makes it look dumber and way more obvious.
