I said " Metho?"
He said "Yeah, that's all that's left!"
Never thought of metho. Probably just as effective...

Meths is good to kill the bugs.  Probably better than the other stuff.  Strange how they never thought to do that for influenza or other nasties.

almost no untimely deaths involving garden variety influenza last year - might be useful a study as to why and what improvements can be made to ensure continued low national morbidity

Could it be said that a  possible untimely death avoided is a nation one step more heathier , wealthier and wise !

Brisbane Lockdown so of course both North and South Coasts are having to follow same, as over the weekend who knows how many travelled to those weekend destinations unknowingly(perhaps) spreading the virus.

I feel sorry for them, and all those whose Easter travel plans have to suddenly be cancelled.  This bug just won't lay down and die.

The spooky thing is the variant of the virus lasts longer and causes death more than the previous variants. I hope the lockdown prevents any further transmissions.  It's getting hairy.

Think of covid-19 as smallpox and behave accordingly - is good that people are generally taking lockdowns seriously

At least is healthy autumn time , although excessively wet for some . but still a healthy time of the year , a time of good viral resistance ( if one considers flu season a bad time of the year )

No it's not.

Even during the flu pandemic - sunlight was used as a ' disinfectant ' .

Carry on.......................
