My point was that in Australia winter flu seems to have been Replaced by CV19.
So who knows, if we are innoculated and no flu comes effectively the cost is wasted, but like fire insurance necessary!
According to another statement one catching one virus tends to block others. You can't have two (or more) together fortunately.

80 not out! Stroppy as ever! CV19 MAY have replaced winter flu in Australia. If so then this winters vaccination program will be a waste of time unfortunately.

Is that directed at me? I appreciate that the written word doesn't come across as well as that which is spoken but I've read over my post several times and I really can't see how it could be considered stroppy.

I've read that isn't completely true and the only studies have been on catching a cold and the flu at the same time. I certainly wouldn't want to gamble on it.

I thought the 80 must be something to do with a cricket score!  ;D

Nor me! Had I been running things we (England) would have been on continuous lock down since the beginning of March, with no foreign inward travel other than for returning Brits, and no outward travel for Brits. It would have been like a gigantic version of Eyam c1350!
80 in a season was stretching things for me Roobarb!! . I was a rubbish bowler, bad batsman, fairly decent wicketkeeper and was told by an ex county player my fielding and catching was top class.

Research into the Corona Virus that produces the common cold has been going on most of my life as still has not produced a vaccine, so I wonder if ever.

 ... There has not been a vaccine developed for SARS1 but it just faded away, a vaccine for Covid is my first hope, my second would be that it would disappear in a similar manner.

They didn't produce a successful vaccine for H1N1 either ...
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/history/narcolepsy-flu.html

On another note, I'm dismayed that our UK media also pushed for Test, Test and Test and ... now Testing seems to have revealed high infection rates in certain areas (more than others), the same media now seem unfairly critical at our government for imposing area and location restrictions.

Testing alone, won't make Covid disappear and we know how fast an ordinary winter cold spreads.

One of the Professors said a few weeks ago ... we are only half way through this.

We have a contact in Spain and for the first time he is not criticising the British, but says some people in Spain forgot the simple rules we had drummed into us, hand hygiene, 2 metre distancing, avoid congregating in groups, etc., and he blames that for Spain's new Covid outbreaks.

All I can say is keep as safe as you can and continue to take care, Mark

Unfortunately SARS never faded away.

The current Coronavirus or Covid-19 is SARS CoV-2.

It is a SARS relative, just like those close in a family tree.

Seems, somehow we've got to adapt too, to survive these viruses that come along.

Over the coming months and years we will see more I feel, about getting fitter, good diet, cutting down pollution, cutting out fast food, less reliance on some medication drugs and their side effects, losing weight, stopping smoking and heavy drinking of alcohol and more walking, cycling etc., etc.
 --------
I was offered a tablet in 2006 for my condition. They said it might not help me, but the leaflet said irreversible brain injury had occurred, so I refused it.

Since 2018 that medication is now linked to a higher risk of dementia and early death (but they knew over a decade ago it caused "irreversible brain injury").

I now ask what are the side effects before popping stuff in my mouth.
