The fatality rate is 1 death per 23 infections globally, the greater majority are over 60 yrs of age. I think that because Australians are not as disciplined as the Chinese, we can expect the toll to be in line with Europe and the US. Going into our flu season "June to Sept" I would be surprised if its less than the spanish flu. 15,000 from a population of 5 million. These are going to be big numbers and I fear I'm likely to be one of them.
