Reply to comment by me_and_myself_and_i in China's widening COVID curbs trigger public pushback by reuters

While most of your points of true. Point #5 is false, further mutations of covid are way weaker then the original. From delta to omnicron to whatever else. They may transmit more but honestly the flu at this point is stronger then covid.

The original strain was crazy tho. 20% mortality is no joke

During Italy's wave in 2020 you literally couldn't test a lot of people so no, actual count would be way lower. Similar to a lot under 1% when testing became commonplace.
