Your coronavirus questions answered

Deputy Chief Medical Officer Professor Michael Kidd is today's guest and he joins us to answer your burning questions around Coronavirus. Questions were submitted via our Instagram account: @thebriefingpodcast

Today's news headlines:

  • Pubs and clubs opening in a stack of Aussie states and territories
  • The Queensland government wants to buy Virgin Australia
  • AFL’s restart hopes hurt as South Australia refuses to waive quarantine rules
  • Travel boss who said Tracey Grimshaw needed a “firm uppercut” resigns
  • Aussie band Powderfinger is reuniting for their first show in a decade

In today's Briefing we ask: As we wind back our lockdown measures, is there a specific number of outbreaks where we’d see the lockdown measures would be brought back in? Is it better to manage people’s reintroduction into the community than let them take matters into their own hands because they’re fed up with the social isolation, how our health dept manages the human psychology of this? Why are we being encouraged to get the flu shot when it doesn’t combat COVID-19? Is there a risk of the virus becoming resistant to hand sanitiser or disinfectants given we’re using them at such high levels? Is there any sense of when we might be able to travel further afield than Australia or New Zealand? What is the Kawaski disease and how concerned should we be about it? Are we likely to see more of these Novel viruses in the future?
