One could discuss how difficult or easy virus can spread based on geographic location. However since humans travel the globe even more than Spanish flu days being geographic isolated doesn't matter anymore. |
I googled that image. I didn't make it.
Australia isn't some tiny little dot in the middle of an ocean.

How? I haven't had the flu in like 20 years! You're not one of those people that erroneously calls a common cold "the flu", are you? |
There can be multiple strains of a Flu virus that "floats around" during a season... Which is why the Flu vaccine is a multi-viral vaccine these days, so just because you got the Flu once, doesn't mean you can't get it another several times during a season. (Although, highly unlikely!)
The "Common Cold" however can be caused by over 200~ different viruses... Good luck vaccinating against that. Just can't be done.
You can minimize your susceptibility to viruses with good hygiene, good level of healthy exercise and definitely a healthy diet, get a regular physical to see where you are falling short health-wise and bolster/adjust your eating macros to tackle the issue, that will give your immune system the best possible chance to respond appropriately.
Basically, take all the precautions you take with COVID (Social Distancing, Hygiene, Sanitation etc') and add a dash of healthy lifestyle.
