We sure do. voice-verified

And no surprise to anyone who lives in Australia at the moment that a lot of the questions tonight are about COVID. voice-verified

And we'll get to that in a second. voice-verified

But the first one is from Don, who's been advised to take low dose aspirin because it reduces the risk of developing solid tumours. voice-verified

Don's also seen that aspirin also triggers the production of more stable versions of aspirin. voice-verified

resolvins, which helps the body to switch off inflammation. voice-verified

But Don has heard that aspirin is either useless or risky unless you've recently had a thrombosis. voice-verified

So sort him out, Norman. voice-verified

What's our current understanding on the benefits and otherwise of aspirin? voice-verified

And a Dorothy Dixer from me, Norman, because we're about to get into some COVID questions. voice-verified

And we both know from our other podcast, Coronacast, that lots of people have been asking this. voice-verified

Is there any point in taking aspirin if you're worried about the risk of blood clots from the AstraZeneca vaccine? voice-verified

And this question comes from Duncan saying, would we know more about our COVID future through numbers of hospitalisations rather than numbers of new cases? voice-verified

Duncan says he knows there's a time lag between those two sets of data, but it seems the limits on us handling COVID are in our hospital capacities, not our number of cases. voice-verified

It's an interesting one because I think that there's an ideological difference between the way Australia is handling COVID, where it doesn't want any spread at all, and the way other countries are handling it, where they're keeping it to a number of cases that the hospital system can cope with. voice-verified

So I think it would be a useful thing to know, but I don't know if it's as relevant in Australia as it is overseas. voice-verified

It's there's got to become a time where Australia flips to looking at that as a metric rather than just cases, because at some stage we're going to have to open up and we're going to have more COVID then than we've ever had so far because we've had hardly any so far. voice-verified

Exactly. voice-verified

And so Andrew's asking about contact tracing. voice-verified

Andrew keeps hearing about how, quote unquote, brilliant New South Wales contact tracers are. voice-verified
