Bonginkosi Madikizela, skip the luxury car, take a coronavirus taxi

DA Western Cape Leader Bonginkosi Madikizela should travel to work via taxiYesterday, the SABC reported that Western Cape Democratic Alliance Leader and MEC Transport “Bonginkosi Madikizela says it is time that people are allowed to go back to work without any further restrictions. He was reacting to a decision by taxi operators to load passengers to full capacity which is in breach of current lockdown regulations.”

I wonder if Madikizela wasn’t in the DA (the opposition to the ANC), wasn’t MEC Transport, and if he and his family travelled to work via taxi, would he take the same position? Why should we trust the motives of politicians, especially him, when they’ve lied to us so many times?

The coronavirus confession of a chipaholic

Mike Hampton Posted on by

This is my confession, you don’t have to forgive me… Hi, my name is Mike. I’ve a confession to make. I’m not asking forgiveness because my hypocrisy doesn’t deserve it. I’m… err… ahh… mmm… this is so hard… I’m a chipaholic! I criticise smokers and fat people but my chip addiction was out of control when I lived in Knysna. Junk food is the cheapest treat when poor. Every time I had money, I went foraging. I was a neanderthal with a mall for my cave. When the Chinese shop … Read the full article…

South African Tourism closed until 2021!

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I was a strong supporter of the initial lockdown but this is insane. Approximately 7-million people would be affected. 9% of GDP. Towns such as Knysna would cease to exist. You may as well plant trees on the N2 and call it quits. Why would Government make such an insane statement during a period of obvious uncertainty? What’s the purpose of not shutting up when you don’t have the facts to make a decision? This is bound to give legs to conspiracy and the damn electioneering DA valid argument. If … Read the full article…

Update 5 June 2020: Coronavirus & CoViD-19 statistics

You may not realise it because the Media’s gotten tired, and so have you, but new cases of covid-19 are breaking daily global records. Our local lockdown has to end but, thereafter, if you don’t play safe, you may kill the people you love. Please skip the conspiracy theories and focus on how easy it is for you to be considerate. If you wash your hands 20 times a day, it’ll only have taken up 10 minutes which is longer than you spend drinking and smoking. I sincerely hope you’re having sex with your current lockdown partner for longer than that, and a perfect explanation for why your kids are facing the kitchen wall with their hands over their ears 🙂 Seriously, be careful. I’m thanking you in advance.

Whilst world gets bored, COVID-19 at record high

Whilst the world gets bored, COVID-19 has reached a record high. There have been 365,880 positive tests in the past 3 days. Over 3,000 people died in Brazil during the same period. The sum total of deaths in Brazil was 178 only 2 months ago. This is a reminder to be cautious because the situation will worsen in our South Africa where, yesterday, there were 32 deaths. Visit the predictions I made 31 days ago. I add that the USA’s current lower figure of, on average, 1000 daily deaths, isn’t a victory or reason to relax – those figures will grow.

Hydroxychloroquine kills CoViD-19 patients

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Are the deaths of COVID-19 patients in President Donald Trump’s small hands? Is he taking the anti-malaria drug, hydroxychloroquine, or was it ‘just’ another selfish attempt to distract from his failures which have become too numerous to count? HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE FAILURE To properly test a possible cure, a study must include placebos. However, so soon into the crisis, that’s been impossible. However, the esteemed Lancet medical journal has published the results of an observational study of hydroxychloroquine used on 96,000 COVID-19 patients on 6 continents. The result was that more patients … Read the full article…
