    Oxford University have produced a Covid-Risk calculator calibrated for the UK; I imagine for Australians it would produce a very slight over estimation of the risk. But not much.
    So I filled in the details – leaving the UK post code blank (this would then compare me to the generic UK data and this would the source of the over-estimation of risk).
    Absolute risk of death 1 /10101

    With no risk factors including over weight 1/12600

    Hospital admittance from Covid 1/1139 . No risk factors such as 1/1600.

    The fear of Covid has been overblown by our media and  state and federal politicians and more damage has been  done by increase suicides, missed diagnostic appointments  and  economic ruin for the next generation.
