Mkhize confirms second wave of COVID-19 in South Africa

[Lupus]

We only use sanitizer when and if we have to go out. Good old soap and water at home does the trick.

Yup, which honestly should be what everyone was doing before this anyway? I mean did this become news to people. I go out to the shops, I came home and washed my hands. I've been washing my hands forever after coming home.

Just do a quick search, high alcohol percentages can damage certain plastics, rubber and other synthetic surfaces over time.
Oh, and it is flammable, but I am sure you know that.

Proper sanitiser is 70% and above?

I distill and make sure I use nothing but glass, copper, stainless steel in the process.

ah ok. interesting on the glass and copper etc.
I spray it on our groceries, hands, door handles, bins, other handles, packets etc. etc.

I usually sanitise every-time I get into the car too, and then in the office every-time I exit the office or return to my office. So far i dont have any skin problems or issues but I don't use the scented stuff, it sends my hay-fever south.
Hand washing i do as well, normally to wash off the sanitizer.

Yep. We spray in the shops, come home and leave our shoes outside and then wash our hands with soap. Sanitize for public places only.

 

[neoprema]

Yeah you shouldn't do that. That is overly excessive, perhaps just use soap and water? Wash your hands before prepping food should prevent any spread there (like anyone should be doing anyway).
Wash your surfaces with handy andy or sunlight, wash your hands when you get home. Spraying everything with alcohol all the time isn't a good idea, I mean just look at how dry and cracked your hands can get from one shopping spree.

yeah, i'm using more soap now too.

I would be careful on the surfaces in the car.

Have read somewhere, on a 4x4 forum I think, about serious damage at least one person suffered from sanitiser.

I know from using wet wipes on my car, from when my little one was well little and we had them in the car. The ones with alcohol caused issues with plastics.

Can confirm this too. And I hate the gel based ones you rub all over your hands, so I'm just holding the spray right up to my hand and spraying a little and rubbing it lol. Cause once it touches car plastics it likes to stain.

Just get alcohol wet wipes, when you get into the car, use the wet wipes.

We getting side tracked here... obviously you can still get it with lockdown in place. The point being made isn't that we need a full lockdown - but for some of you guys on here... it's all or nothing? Why is that? Why can't we keep some rules in place to at least try slow the infection like having a curfew which prevents parties and super-spreader events (@Lupus that was directed at you hahaha), agree that we aren't going to completely stop this virus, we just need to slow it for as long as possible WITHOUT causes damage to our economy - and you achieve that with a balance guys - I just don't get why some of you think it's all or nothing and that there is no middle ground.

This marriage has been abusive. Trust is completely eroded. I trust my neighbor, my friends and my family.

We keep hearing how governments are using this crisis to drive an agenda. I'm still trying to work out how it benefits governments to wreck economies, create massive unemployment while eroding their tax base...

There is no grand conspiracy. No-one knows what the hell they are doing.
But some of the theories are entertaining.

 

[JustAsk]

Of course, it had to happen. Just like most countries we need to follow the worldwide script to the letter...the danger of the fictional common cold "virus".

 

[Nanfeishen]

possible Malawi would be, they have half the population, don't seem to be trending on any death or cases graphs. Possibly they aren't testing?

Malawi lockdown was declared unconstitutional back in April, and the high courts delivered an injunction against the order.
It was decided it would do more harm than good to poor people , and eventually they aimed their focus on campaigns of safety , while targeting the elderly and vunerable.
Most likely the only country that actually used some common sense , but of course none of it makes the news because it doesnt fit the narrative.

So wait, they went with the old narrative? Rather try protect the elderly and vulnerable? Hmmm odd that. Also odd that there isn't any news of it.

Yep , no news because it flies in the face of all the hype over lockdowns and keeping the fear factor as high as possible.

Not sure if they are correctly reporting

Coronavirus Cases:​

6,051

Deaths:​

186

Recovered:​

5,487

But yeah that looks like it didn't really hit them.

Yeah it damaged my old car's plastic dashboard and steering wheel a bit. A good wipe with soap and water is better imo.

Than if it's got a leather steering wheel, yeah be really careful.

From where are these rumours emanating? If from WhatsApp, throw it away.

Personally I can't see it myself.
