Whilst not trying to minimize the dangers of covid its always healthy to have perspective


""According to new estimates published today, between 291,000 and 646,000 people worldwide die from seasonal influenza-related respiratory illnesses each year, higher than a previous estimate of 250,000 to 500,000 and based on a robust, multinational survey."""

There has been a concerted effort in OZ to all get the flu shot this year, which I gather has been very successful, this was designed to not have covid and Flu together

I gather the number of reported cases of the flu to date is way down as a result.

So I think we are performing well in both Covid and Flu cases which is great to see.

For sure, because in the unfortunate even you contracted both, you will probably be history, and would go down as another Covid victim

Sydney is not doing so well at social distancing now the restrictions are lifting.

Neither is Adelaide. Party time.

They’re going to open up for the sake of the economy and there will be a second wave.

I think there is more likely to be small outbreaks that are quickly brought under control.

Shutting down the economy won't eradicate this disease. There will be a spike in cases. Its just a matter of how poor you want to be when that happens. When we didn't know much about the virus, it may have been prudent. We've had a chance to protect our vulnerable. It's time to go back to work.

I agree - get back to work you lazy sods.
Get out from hiding under your beds.
