Australia asked for an enquiry into the origin of the covid-19 virus in 2020. China reacted badly and punished Australia with trade bans. Why would Cina do this if there was nothing to hide? Makes a Wuhun lab leak look more suspicious

Why is there still debate on this issue? Evidence shows that Sweden did better than nearly all other European countries at keeping deaths lower over the Covid years. Even now there seems to be views that early and more stringent lockdowns were needed! thelancet.com/journals/lanep…

In NSW (pop 8.6m), the number of deaths we are seeing now is about what is the expected. Note high death rate in 2022, the first year of wide circulation of Covid in Australia. Almost the only year where deaths were much above expected. 2017 was also almost as high (flu).

Is you travel to other countries for work or holidays, what’s your chance of picking up and bringing home, difficult to treat Superbugs? Our paper try’s to answer that question.

What viruses are still around in larger numbers now that winter has ended and half way thru spring? Mainly adenovirus and rhinovirus (the common cold virus).

What happened with Covid, Influenza and RSV over last winter and the previous winter? Covid peaked in last June and was lower than last year. As was influenza, but it had smaller peak but cases are now just slowly falling. RSV, about the same at last year but peak was weeks ago.

NSW Health has respiratory virus surveillance with lots of interesting graphs. This one shows the increase in deaths in our Southern hemisphere winter, which is just exiting.

Seems to be the same in Sweden
