Boomerang ?  :-DD

Genuine Aborigin's made is much more expensive, there must be cheaper China made alternative too tight ?

Try furniture. You pay more, get much better quality and the furniture is not fumigated. Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.

Somebody cover blueskull in butter and maple syrup, then perhaps the 'merkins will like him.  :)

I like Dr John's style, very informative. Some of his maths is wrong but that's a minor quibble.

You can't stop it anymore, everyone will get it sooner or later.
The only thing is to keep the numbers steady without extreme outburst that overflow the healthcare system,
so that for those vulnerable who really need good healthcare they still can get it.

There is a saying the Generals are always fighting the last war, the same is true here. The epidemic action plans for emerging new diseases are based on experience with MERS, SARS, etc, but Covid-19 is not SARS or MERS.

It is expected that novel pathogens are detected in animal populations first, these are culled before animal to human transmission occurs. That did not happen with Covid-19, human-human transmission seem to appear out of nowhere. It is expected that contact tracing and screening travellers is sufficient for containment, that didn't work with Covid-19.

Missteps were certainly made by several countries handling the outbreak, but many people are blaming them for poor planning or execution, when the real problem is the particular viral characteristics don't match what was planned for. Hopefully we will learn for the next time.

Unfortunately, natural selection will always create things that evade our attempts to control them, it's what Nature does and she has had billions of years of practice.
