I spent a couple of weeks in hospital in November, part of it in an ICU where some CV19 victims are now. I was discharged as the fires started, so I started wearing a mask. When I saw what was happening in Taiwan in mid December I decided to hibernate (self isolate). If I could 'see' what was coming in December, why didn't the people who are paid to 'see' the same things.
In fairness, apart from one cock up with a cruise ship, the Australian authorities have handled the pandemic much better than most others. Still a way to go though.
In 1665/6 Britain had the bubonic plague followed by the Great Fire of London. In 2019/20 eastern Australia had the Great Fires followed by the corona-virus pandemic.
