As far as I was aware it's the hospitalisation rate is driving the lockdowns more than the mortality rate.

Right, and as hospitals get overwhelmed, the mortality rate increases.

> it is not dangerous anymore

How do you know?

What about the crippled survivors?

What about them? Any sources on how many are crippled for life? When we are not even a year into this? There are some articles poping there and there about some lingering health issues after covid. Not much talk about how they compare to lingering health issues after flu or other viral infections. And not high quality either (self-reported, etc.)

0.2% mortality is the rate for people under 60. 0.1% rate for flu is considering all ages. If you remove over 60, the death rate for flu is something like 0.002%. So for an equivalent age group coronavirus is 100x more deadly.

This is the citation needed part of the discussion.
