I'm pretty grateful for the vaccine protection tbqh. I'm a pretty fit bugger and lead a healthy lifestyle but have had issues with my prostate and had a stroke a few years back. I don't think I'm immuno-compromised but I don't take my health for granted like I used to.

Congrats/poor woman. She's not the crazy one you posted about a while back? Or am I thinking of another poster?

No it is not the crazy one that I was engaged to in 2017. Thank God for that. That piece of work wanted my friends to sign a letter she had drawn up where she claimed all sorts of insane stuff about me sleeping with her friends and being a crack addict so she could give it to my family. Was on the verge of approaching courts to have a restraint order issued. Crazy crazy

Of course. You obviously get all the product for free and so is your time.
As I mentioned. This post is just as disturbing as BN getting married.

I'm having to cut short my trip in the Kalahari to get into Upington to catch a flight to Joburg to drive down to Nottingham Road on Friday.

Its about herd immunity now.....

Beaches were absolutely packed this past weekend....we went to Boulders on friday morning to escape the crowds and when it started filling up we ducked...avoided the beaches for the rest of the weekend.....people were everywhere....even at the Milnerton lagoon which is crawling wth ecoli from the shit that comes down the river , through MACs , into the sea.....they even stopped watersports at Milnerton Aquatic Club because of it.
Restaurants were packed....we stopped at Kalky's for some fish and chips after Boulders.....that was pumping.
My neighbours son came home from his initiation this weekend....my piss cat neighbour had an excuse to drink from friday to 12 last night and the amount of people that attended was not funny....not a single mask, sharing drinks and smokes....vok.
The kids are very suscepitable to Omicron. They get it , shrug it off after a few days and infecting the adults...so its no biggie for them.

6 months, but that must be soon for you?

In other countries the booster seems to be after 3 to 5 months

Cabinet relaxes Covid-19 protocols as 4th Wave ends in South Africa
By Crispin Adriaanse Time of article published 41m ago


Cape Town - South Africa has officially exited the fourth wave of the coronavirus and has subsequently resumed daily attendance at schools, removed physical distancing in schools in addition to adjusting isolation directives.

The Cabinet has approved a number of adjustments with immediate effect to the country’s Alert Level 1 Covid-19 regulations based on the trajectory of the pandemic and the levels of vaccination, following a special Cabinet meeting on Monday.

The Cabinet has approved several changes which pertain with Covid-19 protocols, such as amendments to isolation guidelines and ending social distancing at schools.

Isolation:

Isolation is not required for those who test positive but show no symptoms.
The isolation period has been reduced to seven days if you test positive with symptoms
Only contacts with symptoms need to isolate.
“The rationale for these amendments is informed by the proportion of people with immunity to Covid-19 which has risen substantially, exceeding 60-80% in several sero-surveys,” the Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele said.

Isolation is not required for those who test positive but show no symptoms.

Isolation is not required for those who test positive but show no symptoms.

I wonder if it's a bit too soon for this.
