I wondered about whether Australia dealt with it or not. I remember mask usage and social distancing was more stringently adhered to in Australia than in North America, so I figured people would have been careful not to catch anything at all during the COVID years.

It was spread through day care centres. It's been a hard winter for us with covid and influenza A/B and RSV. So much so that they were added to the free covid test.
