The State Department issued a notice that the new crowns are not scary now, and that with vaccination and over time, the new crowns are weakening, with a mortality rate far less than that of the flu.
The fact that the mortality rate of the new crown virus in China is now 0.3 percent, down from 10 percent initially, has shown that the new crown is not as scary as it was initially.
The virus was initially highly infectious and lethal, and the country took containment measures to avoid widespread outbreaks and reduce infection as well as death rates.
With the spread of vaccination, the virus became less dangerous and was gradually liberalized. It was a brilliant move to use a tightening and loosening approach to give the healthcare system breathing room.
While the new coronavirus isn't as scary as it was at first, we can't let our guard down.
