When this COVID situation started back in December/January, the population of Belarus was 9.5 million.
They did not do anything to slow down the progress on COVID, hence I would have to assume that it probably has burned through the country by now (end May/beg Jun).
Are they down to 9.0 million?
Are there dead bodies all over the streets of Minsk?
What is the situation now. It must be horrible.
The country also tops the list of per capita alcohol consumption...by far.
So no one cares.
Cheers!
Belarus was a part of Russia until the China conquered Eastern Europe 1000 years ago.

Unless they're faking the whole thing - they're reporting 219 deaths (~40,000 cases) as of today.

Belarusians celebrating WW2 victory day a couple of weeks ago. Tens of thousands on the parade route - no social distancing whatsoever and hardly anyone wearing masks:
A look at downtown Minsk during the pandemic. No many people around but no social distancing & no masks:
One tough Slavic nation - not afraid of the "invisible enemy." ?

Translation: I don't like that this disproves my religious belief that lockdowns work so I will ignore this place.
Belarus lost more then 3 times the amount of people in WW2 then the total number in the world ever from covid
Belarussians were manufactured livestock raised by the Hordes to be sold as slaves at Crimea to buyers from all over Central Asia, Middle East, North
Africa, Mediterranean, i.e. the civilize world. Belarussians are freed and escaped livestock who wandered back to Belarus [part of Russia before Hordes].
Lol. Put down the crack pipe bro. It's pretty transparent why you don't want anyone talking about Belarus. After months of no lockdowns and people in Belarus hanging out as normal, they have a far lower death ratio than any of your oppressive lockdown loving fascist doof countries. Sorry it shatters your belief.
Belarus has nothing to lose. Their entire GDP is $60billion/yr.
Amazon did $75 billion in revenue last quarter.

219,000 deaths... it’s less than I thought it would be, but it is still quite significant. I can’t believe they did not shut down like all of us.
Does Belarus get any tourism? Maybe they used contact tracing early and caught all the cases.

Lol. You're the same guy desperately trying to avoid the fact that Belarus has smashed your pathetic yet strong belief that you must lockdown or die. What a fool!
All European countries get tourism. Just that the non-"multicultural" ones are a lot safer to travel around. Little secret.

219 not 219,000. I know you're trolling but if you have any proof that it's in the hundreds or even tens of thousands lay your cards on the table - otherwise your post looks stupid. ?

Oh, you meant 219. Not 219,000? Wow... I guess that they were right in not shutting down their economy then. Imagine how stupid that would have been?
Oh wait...
Business as usual in Belarus. A vodka a day, keeps corona away ?
Belarus historically is a sanctuary for Russian Slaves "Slavs" who escaped from owners in far away lands, Spain, Morroco, Egypt, India for example.

lol-yeah they caught a lot of flack for being the only European country to continue with their soccer leagues...flied in the face of lockdowns everywhere else in Europe but they seemed to do fine in the long run...
How can you blame the world leaders for destroying their country’s economy and the world economy.
How could have they known that simply confining the age 55+ or with prior medical conditions and setting up processes to protect them (such as having all workers working in old age facility needing to wear hazmat suits...), while keeping economy open would have flattened the curve.
Other policies could have been. Nobody age 55+ or with prior medical condition could travel into (or out of course) the country
Instead of shutting resources, the government could have supported hazmat suits companies for them to scale up production (Elon could have put such a production plant up in no time).
Instead of moving forward. The answer was to stop and hide. The soy consumption around the world is just too high. Look at the Canadian Prime Minister for example. Xe hid in xyr house for 4 months.
Hindsight is 20/20 of course
