Dear South Africa invites you to provide comment, input, objections or alternate solutions to the government roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccine. President Cyril Ramaphosa announced earlier this week the country had secured 20 million vaccine doses to combat the coronavirus, which are to be delivered mainly in the first half of the year. The government aim to inoculate two-thirds of the population by the end of the year. The vaccination programme announced on Wednesday would target people at shopping malls, taxi ranks, schools, clinics and hospitals. Last week, … Read the full article…
This is a message to Covid-19 denialists, and a safety emphasis to all. There are real conspiracies. Fight those. Don’t use covid-19 to invent them. Because many big corporates and politicians are unkind, doesn’t mean we have to be unkind. Not wearing a mask isn’t a protest for freedom, it’s selfish. I created this infographic to remind us what’s at stake. I may criticise Cyril Ramaphosa but I’m glad that he’s not the mass murderer, Donald Trump.
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 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.
Today is April 30 in Our Year of CoViD-19. This is my coronavirus prediction of what will happen worldwide, mostly over the next month. Considering that psychics scientist have made fools of themselves, this is surely foolish endeavour. I could have emailed it to myself, and only shown it later if I was correct. But if I was wrong, I’d have known that I was a self-righteous coward seeking attention (even though my readership is akin to a tadpole in the Three Gorges Dam). Nevertheless, on 19 February 2019, I … Read the full article…
A broader view of SARS-2 coronavirus statistics makes us more insightful to the challenge we face. Also, it assists in stopping us from becoming uselessly numbed. For example, if every news outlet states 12 times daily that 500 people died in Italy, it becomes the new normal. 50 people less die, and we think, ‘Yay’ but without enthusiasm. But if we only look at the infections and death rates every two weeks, the result is alarming – 58,674 Italians and visitors got infected the past 14 days. That adds perspective … Read the full article…
