It was three years ago that the world began to lose its mind over COVID\u002D19.

“Age is a very important risk factor for severe disease. The risk of hospitalization and intensive care admission increases with age,” the NACI statement said.This is the kind of common sense, risk-based advice we should have received more of during the pandemic. Instead, we shut schools on the false premise that everyone was at risk.
