What Fauci wrote in Feb (before making COVID political):
1. COVID is related to SARS (2002 & 2012)
1a. SARS has CFR 9-10%
1b. COVID has CFR 1.4-2%
2. COVID "case definition requiring a diagnosis of pneumonia" (not just +PCR test) (1/4)

3. Higher "mortality among the elderly and among those with coexisting conditions"
4. "No cases in children younger than 15"
5. "Children less likely to become infected... or symptoms were so mild that their infection escaped detection" (2/4)

8. "Community spread... could require a shift from containment to mitigation strategies... such strategies could include isolating ill persons" (nothing about lockdown, isolating everyone, or wearing masks) (4/4)
