The daft articles like this don't tend to age well. It swells and wanes around the world, over time. Yes, there are a lot of cases in Europe at the moment, but as you rightly say, hospitalisations and deaths are not spiking.

At some point we need to accept we have to live with this. It doesn't seem to be going anywhere. We mitigate as best we can with vaccinations, and we deal. As we do with the flu.

The number of cases of COVID at this point is really nothing more than a scare article, taken out of the greater context; we are doing much, much better against this virus. That can change on a dime, should a resilient strain appear, but the same applies to the flu. We didn't generally live in eternal fear of the flu. We generally "just got on with life", whilst taking sensible precautions; boosters.

You 'can' follow this guide https://docs.microsoft.com/en-... for using Windows App SDK to target versions of Windows 10, version 2004 (build 19041) and Minimum version to Windows 10, version 1809 (build 17763), importing libraries of differing versions that will no doubt be out-dated in 6 months with new APIs breaking tutorials valid currently - and, after adding "[Experimental] Blank Page (WinUI 3)" to your project, and following the guide, you too can have a single button the screen - which is guaranteed to work until Microsoft tosses 'this' paradigm where it tossed Silverlight, WPF, and UWP.

Or you can create a WinForm and have a button and working app in about 10 seconds with backward compatibility that has, despite Microsoft's every effort, survived - despite looking dated as hell.
