"The Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (ACDP) is also of the opinion that COVID-19 should no longer be classified as an HCID".
I don't find this interesting at all, I find it stupid :

"Now that more is known about COVID-19, the public health bodies in the UK have reviewed the most up to date information about COVID-19 against the UK HCID criteria. They have determined that several features have now changed; in particular, more information is available about mortality rates (low overall), and there is now greater clinical awareness and a specific and sensitive laboratory test, the availability of which continues to increase."

Yes, mortality rate is low in some countries, especially in Asia :
Korea - 3%, Singapore 1.2 %, Hong Kong 3.8 %, Japan 7.8 %
but what about the European and N. American countries ?
Italy 45%, Spain 43%, France 26%, Switzerland 53%, Canada 16% not to mention US or UK where MR is > 60% so far.
