I bet heart attacks and rest of other normal killers were way down there like here.And yet flu was all but eradicated during the COVID social distancing measures period in Australia. Any guesses as to why?

I certainly do. When when did this exercise take place?
Kary Mullis, Ph.D biochemist, 1993 Nobel Prize winner for PCR discovery. Here is an interview with him way before 2020:
Standard practice would be to quarantine the sick, not lockdown the healthy.
Yes this is why we have always quarantined the sick.

That is not to say there are no downsides with such an approach, there are, and so strategies need to be balanced.
The tests can tell the difference. I've had the flu and tested negative for COVID.

Because when you have a vaccine for a given virus that is far more effective. Social distancing is both difficult and damaging, so the only time you'd try it is if you had a 1) completely new virus that 2) you didn't have a vaccine for, and that had the potential to 3) kill hundreds of thousands or millions of people.
In an EV, the battery limits both performance and range. Not sure people would want to "roll the dice" and see what they get.
Now they do. They're different tests. For the first year or so they could not. CDC said not to use the old tests for that reason a while ago.
The old pcr covid test was faulty out of the gate …. It was for whatever reason continued until a new one could be developed. They knew it was terrible test but kept using it because did not have anything else. They finally replaced it.
This is the exact reason I believe most of the EVs we have seen have been the higher end models. There are a few more economical type cars available now, but none that are actually less costly to operate than two 10-15 year old Civics or Corollas. So they don't make economic sense for most. The Leaf is the closest option that I know of.Half price Fiskers compared to this? (Third world urban solution perhaps):
$6 a day EV subscription service could disrupt the auto industry
These electric cars & trucks use battery-swap recharging, offer immediate replacement if damaged, and roll out at prices down to $0.25 per hour, with no upfront fees... That's $6 a day plus electricity. The idea is potentially massively disruptive.
A 10 year old Leaf is far cheaper to operate than a 10 year old Civic.
Snicker…. Drive across country.
A 10 year old Civic is much cheaper to start with though as they are not rare.
Most of the cheap Leaf need a battery so there goes the savings. Lifepo upgrade has cold weather draw back for charging without pack warmers. From my limited reading lifepo suppose to be Heavier too. I had considered Leaf then upgrading it - Leaf EXTENDED. Be fun to drive store and such. No long trips. THE chevy Bolt is probably better deal when they were discounts but again battery issues.
