Interesting COVID-19 stats in South Africa

South Africa currently has 40,792 confirmed COVID-19 cases – a record increase of 3,267 cases in the last 24 hours.

Health Minister Zweli Mkhize has also revealed the number of COVID-19-related deaths in the country is 848, up by 56 from the 792 deaths reported the day before.

What about massive? What's interesting about this?

Not sure why they are graphing total number of deaths per age group and not mortality rate per age group. Pretty useless statistic if you don't normalize the data.

So in MyBB speak "interesting" is larger than "massive'

I'm assuming that after spending minutes trying to find something MASSIVE inside the in pictures they copied they decided it was INTERESTING that they couldn't and swiftly returned to their hole in the ground.

But all good.
Our good ZA government has spent the lock down period getting stock piles ready.
Hospitals have all the PPE, temperature scanners, extra beds, vibrators ventilators, masks, etc.
Schools have all the PPE, temperature scanners, sanitisers, masks, etc.
Licensing Departments, Metro Centers, Home Affairs have all the PPE, sanitisers, masks, etc they need.
All acquired a market rates.

We can go back to normal because our ZA govenment has delivered.

"Interesting" is the period before a family member or close friend dies from Covid
