In more group oriented societies they got the situation under control quickly and reopened. In diverse and individualist countries the crisis drags on.

You're spreading absurd globalist propaganda and fearmongering.

Sweden's "covid death" rate for example is less than 0.001/year, all without big lockdowns or sacrificing their ability to enjoy life and live.

If you're in a high risk group the onus is on you to isolate and take precautions. Natural immunities forming is the healthiest and sanest route.

You're portraying an idiotic dichotomy between "individualism" and "collectivism" that has no basis, so as to frame the scenario into a preconceived basis which is naive at best.
