Reply to comment by NotAnotherEmpire in (Virology) Has SARS-CoV-2 outcompeted all the other coronaviruses which have been called the ‘common cold’? by jsgui

I was picking up a prescription in August 2020, the middle of some very strict lockdowns in Australia, and I asked the lady at the pharmacy about the cold and flu season. She said it basically hadn't happened that year; she had drug company reps calling her like "do you need supplies? ...please?".

That is very funny, while also an indication that things along the lines of "yearly vaccination that a country needs" probably should be nationalised lol
