Novel CoronaVirus (COVID-19) Updates & Discussion

[SlinkyMike]

It's pretty clear already that COVID-19 is here to stay. I guess we are looking at annual mutation and reinfection at this stage. Health services will shortly be overwhelmed - we are just now heading into winter.

EDIT: I'm not saying we should all try and catch it or not try to prevent infection btw.

What does local transmission actually mean?

Someone who has not been overseas catching it. Ie, transmitted in SA

I don't feel so well today.

Probably (and hopefully) a touch of seasonal flu?

What does local transmission actually mean?

The infection was contracted here, not imported from overseas.

What does local transmission actually mean?

I'm not sure myself. Are they saying that this person got the virus from someone locally?

This is not the first of these kind of comments here.

What are you guys basing this on, I mean other than science fiction movies and television?

 

[Coronachan]

Come SA. I'm sure we can get 25 by Friday.

I'll be happy to assist with that score!

Maybe I'll exceed your wildest expectations...

Bad advice, avoid licking your phones pls peeps.

Being the first in the Free State, it's unlikely he got it from one of the other already confirmed carriers then, which, in turn, means the person who infected him is still out there. Or is my logic flawed?
