  1. The technical ability and wealth of today versus 1918 is completely different. In theory this time should have been relatively easy.

  2. Unfortunately even the experts making various potential vaccines qualify their remarks to say that they are hopeful and things are looking positive. No scientist is going to say it's a certainty because it isn't. Trump unfortunately will promote the idea that a vaccine is a certainty. If an effective vaccine is produced by early next year that's great, but at the current rate the US will have another 100,000 deaths or so without a highly viable treatment. If a vaccine doesn't come then as the professionals in this clip said it just keeps going.

  3. Australia have both politician and medical public servants at state and federal level but they certainly don't contradict each other. Our political parties don't contradict each other either . Only stuff around the edges.

  4. I think if you are over 40 or overweight according to BMI chart or other health condition you shouldn't be doing the job at this point. Those who work now could get time off later to make up for any unfairness.

  5. Yes it's not really like a bush fire. It's more like burning the felled trees to clear land.

  6. I am not a parent but I would say it depends on circumstances. If your child and everyone in the household is healthy and not overweight or above 40 then the risk is low enough to take. But if your household has anyone not inside those parameters it's better to act with caution.

  7. I don't think it costs anything extra, the staff already getting paid. Might as well give them something to do. Maybe it'll save money if less traveling.
