>The infection fatality rate for COVID is incredibly low, particularly for those under 50. The infection fatality rate is relatively low when hospitals aren't overwhelmed and when we have oxygen available, and let's not forget all the mask and vaccine measures you disparage. That rate isn't going to remain low with the 'I've got mine, %$#@! you' attitude some people have, when even the lowest cost intervention (like wearing a mask) is unacceptable. With no interventions, infections spike and the death rate will be higher. Ultimately, restrictions will remain until enough people have been vaccinated, either via the vaccine and/or in the 'natural' way. The attitude of some just means we'll all suffer for a bit longer.
