I am at high risk, my immune system pretty much shot. Yet I feel safe at my school due to the rational precautions it has taken.

Fearing Covid is not irrational. I fear it mightily yet try to behave rationally. There’s quite a distance between the one extreme of locking yourself away and the opposite irrational course of not taking this virus seriously, thereby putting yourself and others at risk.

No wonder the Donald hung up on him in 2017. Turnbull is far too articulate for a cretin like Trump to bulldoze.

Australia, a vast country that contains only about 3/5 of the population of the state of California, can hardly hold itself up as a model of immigration management.

The research I've done suggests that the vaccines could minimise any infection to the point where you wouldn't feel ill at all so it's more than a palliative. In many cases Covid just won't get a chance to take hold but this won't apply to everyone. It's the same for the flu jab where there is alwa...

The simple fact of the matter is that none of the current vaccines will prevent you from getting Covid19. Instead, what they are designed to do is to significantly minimise the effects of coronavirus if and when you do get it. No vaccine is 100% effective? That’s like pointing out that a pitcher wh...
