Good for them. I want to enjoy my beer in bar, without a mask, though.

As soon as they open up to the rest of the world, they will be reinfected, and those deaths will increase.

Because you really don't know anything about masks, do you? You truly don't.

COVID-19 particle: 0.06 to 1.4 microns

Oxygen molecule: 0.0005 microns

Carbon dioxide: 0.00065 microns

Explain how they don't keep COVID particles out (which they, in fact, don't) but do keep out oxygen and keep in carbon dioxide, please?

The children (and by extension, adults) of this nation don't get the measles, chickenpox, diptheria, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, HPV, Meningitis, Mumps, Poli, Rotavirus, Rubella, Shingles, Tetanus or Whooping Cough.

Those diseases would claim many lives every year before a vaccine was created. They work great. I wouldn't necessarily jump to the conclusion that there will be no vaccine for it. The thing many people are only focused on right now is the death rate. But we don't know what the last effects of coronavirus are. Many children survived polio... but many were disabled because of it. We might have millions of Americans that wind up with irreparable lung damage or something.

The effects of coronavirus might extend well beyond just the death count.
