So - has it been weaponised to hurt Trump, then?

No way it would be this silent if he had anything to do with it.

Same here.

A couple of years ago I had a persistent sinus - and to get rid of it, I took sinutab. However, it got worse, and I had to take the stronger Sinutab. And regular doctor visits too. I said stuff that, took a compral or two, chucked the sinutabs away, and from there on, no more sinus attacks. No comprals either.

We use homeopathic medicines, works out cheaper. There are times when we really need to go to the doctor, but that is so seldom.

That stuff only makes you feel dead, barely does anything to relieve symptoms just deadens them. The natural stuff though, poof, symptoms are simply gone sometimes even if only temporarily.

Though for sinuses there is also the added thing of rinsing them properly once a day otherwise the gunk just makes you sicker longer than necessary... or worse, going to your lungs and causing infection there.

This popped up on my feed just now and boy it scares the frik out of me

Just wait until the chartered plane lands, presumably in Jhb?
Will they be immediately taken to an isolation facility to be kept for 2 or 3 weeks?
Or will they go through immigration and customs, so that the fiscus does not lose out on duty and VAT?
They might also be met by an enthusiastic crowd of relatives, all hugging and kissing
And coughing

Is it too afraid to enter Russia? Is Putin too intimidating?

For the same reason that nobody trusts the figures coming out of China, and the first cases reported in Iran were deaths and not infections.

 

[thestaggy]

Iranian vice-president has now been infected.

Tough choices for tourists looking ahead.

Getting Corona in Milan
or
Robbed on table mountain.

I'd personally like to give #Covid19 a warm welcome to ZA. Hopefully they hold the press conference at Luthuli House & not the airport.

Lol. Extra History tends to be a little overenthusiastic but I enjoy their channel

Can't they land in Upington and proceed to a quarantine camp in the Karoo?

 

[jack_spratt]

3% kill rate is pretty low for a bioweapon. But it was made in China....so.

Could they? Would they? The last lot of students arrived back in the country, took off masks at the airport, and started hugging people. I presume they all went home to their families?

Found this on r/Coronavirus

They'll go through immigration and receive a warm welcome from the media and fans and give interviews at the airport. People need to know what it was like in China. Hugs and kisses for family and friends...

Sooo...only the elderly and the sick, eh?

Rule number 1: Avoid ALL strenuous activities, including sex, whenever you (feel you) have the flu - any flu! Your heart will thank you.
