Soon we will be coronavirus and influenza free
We will not be COVID or flu free. Just because Australia is managing to keep COVID under control, and as we are all keeping away from each other the spread of flu has also been limited, that means nothing. The pandemic is only getting worse in the rest of the world. It is only matter of time before the 30 000 Australians return home, and certain percentage of them will be infected. Hopefully they will not infect anybody else, but it cannot be guaranteed. And nobody knows how it will mutate. Because mutate it will.
we do not need any from the rest of the world to be here in thsi time of dangerous crisis - they are just a convenience or icing on the social/tourist cake in safe times ( accepting yearly influenza contamination, serious cases in the thousands and hundreds of untimely deaths)
Winter just ended with us being 99.7% influenza free - enjoy the good health and be ready to reimerge with hope and vigour
