The Prime Minister, Chief Health Officer and Premiers are who to listen to. My daughter received a text from her boss saying nation wide lockdown would be announced today based on cabinet meetings. Extremely disappointing in my book. Experts everywhere!!!

Now that may be an isolated case...but to say its not happening is just plain wrong from Scotty from marketing. Scotty also said its not to say that individual cases aren't occurring. If outbreaks occur in communities, measures will need to be taken.

Is there any correlation between aging populations with a high proportion of smokers and COVID-19 fatality rates?

It's like the difference between a quick stir fry (COVID-19) and a slow roast (smoking). If you provide the fuel and have a match at the ready..............
If you've been a smoker for several decades, one could reasonably argue the the Corona virus would be neither here nor there. But I don't know the answer to your question. Smoking would be one of several factors that make the elderly a high risk group with most things.

We are following the Singapore model with schools who have kept them open, however that country applied harsh restrictions as soon as China revealed their crisis and thats the difference we have bumbled along instead of going the harsh lockdowns, Singapore learned from the SAR's virus and we are playing catchup...its crazy, we need to lockdown for a month.

Good question and I watched a presentation from an Italian Dr who drew that exact correlation (referring to Italy). Most at risk are... aged with an underlying illness, especially lung issues (cancer, COPD, emphysema), diabetes, obesity and hypertension chief among the high risk folks (much like a bad flu!!!).
