Unemployment
Australia has lost 600000 jobs since Coronavirus started. Unemployment has risen to 6.2 per cent, and workforce participation has plunged to 63 per cent. In all, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said 2.7 million Australians either left the labour force, lost their job or had their hours reduced.
The initial impact has been concentrated on industries that have been shut down by government policy. According to ABS/ATO data, jobs in accommodation and food services have fallen by 33.5 per cent; and in arts, sports and recreation by 27 per cent.
Cruising is Off the Agenda
Federal Tourism Minister Simon Birmingham has cautioned against booking cruise tickets, stressing that there is no set date they will be permitted to return to sea amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Many cruise companies have been taking bookings for this year and early 2021, but Birmingham said it would be "optimistic" to think they would be operating again by September.

I hadn't realised posters here are of such an advanced age. As an over 50's forum......I assumed..........50........60.......70 maybe?
Perhaps as an 80yr old you'd just need to up the dose a bit?

The body often deteriorates when the mind still functions as it used to at a younger age. I'm over 70 and believe I still have all my marbles, some may doubt that but that's their problem!

Vit D supplements won't work no matter how many you take if your body no longer works as it should. That happens after 50 and by 80 parts of the body just start working at x% of what they used to. We were never built to live so long.

Fascinating article on the economics of the shutdown versus the cost of letting the virus rip to achieve herd immunity.
Well worth a read.
It is written by two Professors of Economics one from Uni of NSW and one from Melbourne Uni.
