    Bit worrying to see a Victorian kid come back on a flight with bird flu, and that poultry outbreak. I was really hoping it would miss us.

    Edit: Do you think it would have been included in this years flu shot?

      No there’s no vax for it yet :-/ I don’t think they’ve seen human to human transmission yet tho.

        Ahh… guess that would be too much to ask. Given that there was warning I just hoped they’d already be working on it, or a vaguely similar strain would have been included

        Edit: But I mean if the possibility of transmission between people even exists then why wait? We saw the cost and disruption of lockdowns and the strollout. I really want the government to be more proactive this time if we’re at risk of another pandemic.
