So what next 'ban all kids'? I say this sarcastically of course.

At least here in the UK, the official advice if a family member caught Covid was to isolate them in a separate room, with no allowances made for children. Sounds like we already tried this!

  While you joke… https://freakonomics.com/podcast/abortion-and-crime-revisited/ https://freakonomics.com/podcast/abortion-and-crime-revisite... No the author is not some homicidal maniac. In interviews he emphasizes that no policy should be made based on his findings. But if policy were made, he would focus on universal healthcare, pre-school, government funded maternal leave, etc to support women.

What's next is 20 years of debate, and a lot of people carving out careers as apologists for the lockdowns.

Pour a bottle of bleach over them before they are allowed to come into the house.

I mean, another version of the headline is "Children responsible for 791k US Covid deaths."

  When in reality, being over 65, obese, diabetic, and suffering from hypertension, or otherwise unhealthy, were the major demographic of deaths. Kids were fine. Ah, remember the headlines when Trump was taking it more seriously than the press, and the press was comparing it to the flu and Pelosi in Chinatown SF saying don't be racist, come on down. It was much worse than the flu if you were over 65; it was predominantly a pandemic of the elderly and ill, but gotta sell the poke and boosters to the tune of $40B per round. I had to argue the efficacy of natural immunity from having had it to keep from getting vaccinated for work, and yet they forced my older kids and nephew to get booster after booster if they wanted to continue to attend university. My nephew immediately had chest pains within 8 hours of the vaccination, and he was diagnosed with myocarditis, and is still being checked for heart issues. He was a runner and did not have any of the comorbidities to push him to get the vax given he had already had COVID and should not have been advised to get vaccinated. They did a great job of memory holing natural immunity the CDC and Fauci and Co.

  Except there's no guarantee that fatal cases and child-initiated cases are independent. Given that older people are more likely to die and less likely to have children in the home, it's entirely probable that children are responsible for a far smaller number of deaths.

> So what next 'ban all kids'? Maybe regulate very good air quality and/or air purifiers in daycare and school buildings. Something along the lines, CO2 not allowed to go over 800 ppm, and at least 6 air changes per hour for every room. End of 2022, Belgium made a new law about indoors air quality https://www.health.belgium.be/en/closer-legal-framework-indoor-air-quality https://www.health.belgium.be/en/closer-legal-framework-indo...
