COVID-19 SPECIAL, child infectious diseases specialist Professor David Isaacs, on the risks facing Australia as we ease lockdown, & HOW we might just avoid a major 2nd wave of infections.

Professor David Isaacs, senior Sydney pediatric specialist in respiratory virus infections and immunisations, at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead, bluntly assesses WHY Australia has managed this pandemic pretty well so far compared to many world-leading nations and HOW only minor, firmly-controlled COVID-19 infection breakouts might occur once lockdown lightens. Plus he calmly explains the evidence on whether children spread this virus; the case for schools to stay open; and is asymptomatic spread a huge danger for our community as we venture more outside our homes.
