Killer whales hunting baleen whales in concert with humans of the coast of Australia is well documented and probably predates European settlement - search 'the law of the tongue' for more details.

I would argue actual bills paid (as shown in the camstar data) is important to the average voter vs wholesale price as you have quoted.

there was a bottomless pit of money to pay for advertising on facebook to get it up to critical mass, I wonder where that might have come from?

the question is, are the downvoters paid or incentivised to do so? we will never know.

At what cost? we've saved a few 80 year olds, but lost hundreds of younger people via suicide and created a huge long tail of mental health problems along with poor educational outcomes (Australian here).

thanks that is really great perspective

easy to imagine such a thing recording covid status being a pre-requisite to entering hospitals / government buildings. Other options would be offered initially.

Does anyone else see the irony of herding people off beaches to protect them from covid-19?

on currently published numbers the death rate is around one death per 30 infections. (25th January, 41 people dead from 1287 infections). According to wikipedia the spanish flu had a death rate of 1 in 50 (although the numbers may not be that reliable), so until more is known about transmission it should prompt precautions.
