Things are fine and dandy where I am. My state (in the US) hasn't been locked down since last summer and in deaths per 1M population we rank 27th out of 50. Most of the "lockdown" states are in the top 15 in terms of death per 1M. In the US serious and critical cases currently account for a whopping .13% of total active cases. Even during the winter peak before vaccinations that was only .5% of cases. So hospitals here aren't struggling to cope, and not in the UK either. Europe, having managed to stuff up vaccinations with EU politics, is apparently suffering another wave. But even there the highest number I could find was .61% serious or critical in Italy. They will eventually get the vaccines sorted and that number will plummet. The world will move on as HKG sits in quarantine.
