But not if one lives in Greenland, Alaska etc.

This pie-chart is interesting.

Sepsis in Australia takes out approx 5,000 per year.... or THIRTEEN per DAY,

Diabetes T2 puts around 1.2 million in hospital and 'contributes' to 16K deaths per year, or about 40 per DAY.

'Flu figures seem reticent to show themselves, but I found 21,000 cases and 30 - odd deaths this season.

But most depressing is this link quoting our "Australian"... Report: Suicide Rise to Kill More than Coronavirus in Australia

Australian suicides, 3,000 deaths from 65,000 'cases' (attempts)

And your point is?

Which one panics government(s), gets reported in every media, 24/7, - and sickens and kills 'how many ?'

Even without a Conspiracy Theory, don't you get the impression that we've been mis-informed, lied to, conned, deceived and been 'had' ?
Or the incredible incompetence of the "journalists" involved...

All this economic destruction from less than 1,000 deceased / 28,000 'cases' - With Victoria accounting for 20,000 positive tests and 800 deaths. (rounded numbers) Compare 'Sepsis' with . 5,000 dead per year and a fatality rate of 20% in a modern hospital here in WA.

No. have a close look around the world, and you may realise just how lucky we have been. Lucky we shut down reasonably early, lucky we took this seriously, and lucky those in charge, for the main part, ignored the fringe dwellers and their conspiracy theories. Any one with half a brain would realise this virus is not to be taken lightly. Perhaps you should go on a fact finding trip to South America.

Spring snow is not that odd in the Alps as it can fall right up to December, and it can snow in summer as well. It can snow in Tasmania all year round - Cradle Mountain can and does get it in January.

It's rarer to have it at low altitudes like this week, when it fell down to 600m and in Ballarat.

I went to boarding school in Ballarat and we had snow on the ground at least once every winter. Playing rugby in sleet is as miserable as it sounds ...
