Well done, Baron.

It took nearly 5 years but you finally got there.

But, do you know what does go a long way towards stopping Covid, flu and other respiratory viruses?

Masks. They provide protection against all viruses and all variants of said viruses.

And I don't mean 'baggy blue' surgicals (although they are better than nothing).

Next thing we need to work on is trying to find out why masks are considered to be the equivalent of poison in Australia and most western countries.

Perhaps we should ask our governments and big business that question (assuming we can ever break through their 'vow of silence' regarding everything Covid related these days despite the fact that Covid is still about 10 times more deadly than the flu).

When "bird flu" goes full blown human to human transmission (if it hasn't already) and maintains it's current 50% CFR (Case Fatality Rate) perhaps governments may grow a spine and start talking about masks again because handwashing and social distancing won't cut it with this... same as with Covid and the flu, etc.

Oh, and...

Yes.

But, as long as governments and business refuse to admit that Covid and other respiratory viruses are airborne it places responsibilty (aquascoot's awesome "personal responsibility") on the individual.

An admission that Covid is airborne would require governments and business to do something about it, i.e. have to spend some serious money on things like providing clean air in all public buildings same as the pollies now have at Parliament House in Canberra and probably all of the State ones as well.
