Robert Podhajsky, Ocean Shores

Back in the day (1971) The Who, a rock band, made the song Won’t get fooled again. Read the lyrics.

I have just looked at the annual flu reports for previous years, from the Australian government Department of Health – the Australian influenza surveillance reports. They are a must-read, to give a perspective on the Australian and world governments’ reactions by assimilating the implications from this information.

I am just observing the data that is online. The Australian government does not accept liability for any injury or loss or damage arising from the use of or reliance upon the content of the reports, as stated in the data considerations section.

Take note of the data, and compare with available COVID-19 data.
