Reality Check August 17th 2021

The Sky is still falling in Australia

…could be worse, though.

As I write, Australia has recorded a TOTAL of 14,854 Covid cases since the panic began – a bit over HALF the UK’s new case count yesterday – itself down from 48,500 a month ago, when UK lockdown was rescinded.

Here are the latest figures:
