<p class="MsoNormal">And being on my own since my wife dies (2001) and my children went off to university the "anti-social isolating" bit has not really affected me. There are some stupid figures being bandied about, and I mean stupid. A friend's son crashed
his bike and died in hospital from his injuries, but as he tested positive on arrival for carrying Covid his death is counted as a Covid death. All deaths within a twenty-eight day period after testing positive, whether or not showing any symptoms, are also
counted. Heart attacks, strokes, car accidents, falling down stairs, all are Covid deaths...<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">That was a well written article. Talk about a multi-variant problem.<br>
<br>
It also seems the virus likes cool weather. Our northern (warmer) states have a lot less restrictions than we do in Victoria.<br>

Stay safe all.<br>

America is an unmitigated disaster. See <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/09/pandemic-intuition-nightmare-spiral-winter/616204/" target="_blank">

for an excellent summary.<br>
<br>
I wish we had nationwide "stage 4" lock down. Its what we need, and anyone who disagrees is ignoring science in favor of politics.<br>
