Yes. The footy
That is why we are currently locked down. It spread at the footy.
Every single case in Aus is contact traced and genome tested to see how it spreads

We are in lockdown. The whole state, because so many people travelled from everywhere to the footy.
It is very hard to keep up, it is changing constantly
of course there is a stage that it is no longer possible. Like I said the early stages of Alzheimer's and there is medication that can slow the progression down
I have never heard of people doing anything. I come from generations of women who all started their periods at 8, me, my mother, my grandmother, her mother her mother's mother. I don't know after that. I thought it is just genetics
I have 7,
I planned 2. Dh wanted 4, number 5 was conceived 3 years after I had my tubes done. Then a few years later we became permanent carers of youngest twins. I don't consider it a large family as such because some of the older ones had already left home when the twins came to live with us
I know one who stopped at 11 simply because she just keeps having miscarriages now she is in her late 40's
I know someone else who stopped at 11 because her husband had a stroke and is practically bedbound
I know a relative has stopped at 10 , every single one of her children has a disability, every single one ( things like IQ of 40 etc). it got to the point that she was threatened with having some removed if she didn't stop.
My mother stopped at 8, the last ones were twins and she thought that a good ending. it was a mixed family my mum was widowed and remarried
When working in aged care I worked with a few people with early stage alzeimers who were still able to live in their own homes. They were on medication to slow it down. They had someone come in every day to make sure they had taken their medication and eaten. They also had meals on wheels delivery. A family member would check on them in the evening and help prepare a meal.
