COVID-19 in SOUTH AFRICA

Newlands, the best stadium in the country????

This gif reminds me of Newlands

Looks like Kanye West's toilet has more trophies than the WP cabinet. But at least they both smell the same.

Well played Sir!

[assfly]

Thank you. That's my only zinger for the year.

Cape Town Stadium belongs to the tax payer not WP rugby. When nuweland gets demolished to pay WP Rugby's debt you'll have nothing and will have to rent Cape Town Stadium from us the tax payers.

With the amount of kak you post, I'll wait for the accountants and auditor's report before I believe this wolhaarstorie. Ons almal weet boere ken van lieg.

Farmers are not known for lying, they are known for complaining. Politicians are known for lying, lying and steeling.

Weird that the kakkest stadium with the kakkest home team drew the most spectators in CC/S15 for ages. Says a lot about SA others stadiums/supporters.

Do any of the sharks supporters actually live there?

At least they are Cheetahs supporters.
Boolands is mostly filled with Crusaders supporters.

The Cape coloured community at Newlands helps a lot for the vibe. The manne sonder tande have a great sense of humour.

You probably meant to say "2 arrogant Grey Kollege wit boer supporters" as there's never more than 4 supporters at the stadium.

Oom behoort nou al te weet om nie goed te ernstig te vat hier nie, veral nie van my af nie. Ek skiet met n sloshgun om elke hoek en draai.

.New Covid-19 cases in SA remain above 2 000 mark
By IOL Reporter Time of article published 9h ago


Cape Town – The cumulative number of detected Covid-19-related cases has risen to 657 627, with 2 055 new cases identified, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said on Friday.

A total of 85 more Covid-19-related deaths have been reported: 5 from the Eastern Cape, 9 from KwaZulu-Natal, 62 from Gauteng, 7 from the Western Cape and 2 from the Northern Cape, Mkhize said in a statement. This brings the total number of Covid-19-related deaths to 15 857.


’’Our recoveries now stand at 586 844, which translates to a recovery rate of 89.2. The cumulative number of tests conducted to date is 4 003 590, with 20 057 new tests conducted since the last report.“

A total of 2 128 new cases were identified on Thursday, with 67 deaths.




Data supplied by the Department of Health

Meanwhile, local public health experts have raised concerns about the bulk-buying of potential Covid-19 vaccines by rich nations, arguing that this could further delay access to these life-saving shots by developing countries such as South Africa.

The latest report by Oxfam has revealed that wealthy nations representing only 13% of the global population have already bought up more than half of the promised doses of future Covid-19 vaccines.

A British Covid-19 test which gives results in just over an hour and does not require laboratory services was accurate in almost all cases, an academic review in the Lancet has found.

Called DnaNudge, the faster testing could allow more people to return to work or permit testing on entry to hospital, thus slowing a second spike in coronavirus infections. The new test is based on the design of a DNA test.

Colloquially called "long Covid", some people who have recovered from Covid-19 are suffering from health issues like chronic fatigue, heart difficulties, breathing problems, and even a decline in mental health. Basically, the longer-term effects of Covid-19 are unknown.

Research from Austria showed lung and heart damage weeks after recovery, although there appeared to be some self-recovery after a longer period of time, highlighting the importance of pulmonary rehabilitation for hospitalised patients.

Yes, started late last year I think, was meant to come over in July on one. You pay the BA premium but in between the cost of milling about in Dubai for 4 hours or getting the obligatory Wimpy at OR Tambo (+add risk of baggage loss on change) it makes (made) it roughly £100 more for that saved combined 12/14 hours of travel. Plus the flights are overnight landing 6ish, meaning an extra full day of holiday and make it into the office on return same day.

It must be pleasing for South Africans to going back to level 1. Hopefully those numbers continue to fall. 13 daily deaths is very manageable, but 1 555 daily infections is still quite high and suggests widespread community transmission.

FIL just diagnosed and in hospital in PE. In his 80's but farmer most of his life and tough as nails so we're praying he can pull through.

Sadly, he didn't make it.

I had a flu shot a week ago, and yesterday my temperature went very high. I was nervous that it was Covid as I am a high risk being old and being treated for stage 4 melanoma. But my temperature is nearly normal today. Just the normal aches fhat you get with flu.
