For me the weirdest thing about covid has been realizing that the common cold is a ragtag museum of coronavirus pandemics past, all eventually tamed by becoming ubiquitous in early childhood, which we should have paid so much more attention to.

Not sure what you're trying to say? It's the same family of viruses, yes. But we don't actually know they all caused pandemics. We **do** know that public health measures work best, regardless. Letting kids get sick is still a bad idea right now? https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/08/how-we-live-coronavirus-forever/619783/ …pic.twitter.com/Yd8uWbn8qE

I'm saying the evidence is suggestive that 'common cold' is the end state of coronavirus pandemics like the current one. I don't care one way or another about current public health measures or advice for kids.
