But here's another thought.
You could have said, yeah, kids could take it to their grandparents.
So until the kid has gotten it and recovered for two weeks, tell them not to visit their grandparents.
And there would be the exceptions to the rule.
But most of the people, the death rate we already knew in China was very, very small once you added in the kids.
Initially, they were saying it was a 3% death rate, which would have been instead of 1 million people dying,
you know, would have been significantly more.
Three million people may have died.
But they knew the death rate was less than that in China early on.
But part of the reason they thought it was so high is they weren't counting all the asymptomatic cases.
You know, they knew how many people were sick and how many people died, but the denominator was the number of people who actually were sick or who actually got the infection, but they weren't counting millions of people.
But Anthony Fauci denied this at every step.
He denied that natural immunity would protect you.
And one of my favorite quotes was from a guy named Martin Kulldorff.
He was an epidemiologist at Harvard who ended up getting fired.
But recently he tweeted out, it was about a year or two ago, he said,
We knew about natural immunity from the time of the Athenian plague in 436 B.C.
And we knew that knowledge until 2020.
