Same reality exists every year for Influenza.

I understand that Mike & honestly we never seem to worry about that one but this bugger does seem a lot nastier albeit from what I can glean from others figures & reports. Oh well, we'll keep on doing pretty much the same stuff but with more care, & it'll be a good year for Yellow Tail's Balance sheet.


There certainly has been much more publicity with this bugger & I don't recall reading of the many thousands that have died worldwide. Maye it is my age & my time to worry.

Can't even see our three Great Grandchildren because of distancing & one has recently arrived a couple of months ago.

As my olde Ma in law would say "Up boys & at 'em, remember the Bulldog Spirit"

Except the death rate for this one is 20 to 40 times higher than influenza. So, not really like influenza at all.

Influenza is also generally seasonal,where this virus is not.

The trouble equating the COVID19 to influenza is it is like comparing a great white shark to a mullet
NOT the same Mate.

Shelves are fully stocked here for around a week now, only item that is still hit and miss is hand sanitiser by the looks of it. Hopefully stocks over your way do the same soon, the panic buying is driving everyone nuts - and those that have been doing it need their nuts removed...
