I meant lick stupid phone.

I think licking stupid phones spreads disease.

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?

Logic is sound. Probably a wildcard or trumpcard from @Coronachan

They’re so tasty.

Only if carefully sanitized and covered in peanut butter.

C'mon be reasonable. All the packers already lick their fingers to open the packets. Also the bread rolls you bought are inflated by mouth.

Damn, this is my neighbourhood. First Cape case is from Muizenberg:

EXCLUSIVE: Muizenberg man is Cape's first Coronavirus case

The Daily Voice can reveal that the man is from Muizenberg and went to his family doctor on Monday and opted to self-isolate in his home.

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?

Honestly: I read it somewhere. There was an article with a table comparing influenza, SARS, MERS, COVID-19 and one or two others IIRC.

The people who had created the chart indicated that if the virus takes hold in a population then it will mutate, once it mutates we are looking at iterative mutation and seasonal reinfection. It's taken hold in China, Italy and it seems like the US is next.

That article was relatively old.

A more recent article indicates that a second strain has already been identified.

Now, mutation could be good or bad. IIRC SARS mutated and extincted itself but that was a random outcome, it could just as easily become much more dangerous with each mutation, the higher the infection rate the more that dice is rolled.

I'm not an expert, in all honesty I find it all very confusing as I lack the foundational education on these topics.

Last week my wife asked me to buy her tweezers at the china shop. I thought **** that **** and went to Clicks.

What happens now? Do they adjust the standards? Or just declare every economy in the world junk?
