But you need to acknowledge that if we did not close borders etc the 2020 Covid deaths would likely
have exceeded 20,000 based on comparisons with other countries. It would have been the leading
cause of death in Australia. Many thousands of lives were saved by the 2020 Covid measures.

A further spin off from the measures was as you pointed out a reduction in the respiratory
conditions to which you refer such as flu. People socially distanced, washed hands, used sanitisers etc.

Closing the international borders for sure, not the state borders though.

We had break outs March 2020, the cruise ships, North Tassie, nursing homes ect...

But 1080 influenza deaths in 2019 compared to 55 in 2020 is more like washing statistics than hands.
