DrS,

A somewhat suss article. First it compared Australia with Sweden by saying Sweden had 8,200 infections per million people ( last time I looked Sweden had something like ten and a half million people)....... thus 85 or 86 thousand infections.

So how does an article suddenly have 150 thousand ill when it states contradictory figures for infections Vs ill?

Plus the bloke with his flag half mast is or was an academic............. so was or is Tim Flannery.

Yeah I have got to the point where I am suspect of any figures related to Covid. For someone like me, who likes to debunk factoids over supposition, blind faith and gossip, it is an irritating situation.
