South African Covid-19 News and Discussions 2

So today I wasn't able to get smokes from my usual place. So I popped down to the taxi rank in another area, its raining and it was business as usual, except now everyone is all bundled together out of the rain. Literally huddling, as one usually would under a shelter from the rain. A wet winter in the Cape is going to a big factor in spreading the virus imo, based on what I saw today.

Yes I got smokes, probably got covid too

About to do some practical research regarding smoking protecting you?

The other day I was at the doctors surgery which is next to a takeaway, a group of black guys bought what I assume was a Kota they placed it on the roof of their vehicle and all ate from it at the same time and shared a 2L bottle of some off brand cool drink drinking from the same straw.

Surely that is regarded as gathering and the guys should have been arrested?? You would be if you set up a braai with your mates next to your car??

 

[daelm]

Yup so now you need to ban food.

no, just eating. don't be "irrational".

 

[dualmeister]

Are they serious - they want to open cinemas but we can't visit family ?

Then who shaves CR's head??? Surely that's illegal too?

Visit them at the cinema

 

[daveza]

Visit them at the cinema

With dozens of strangers, no thanks.

I can't wait to hear them rationalise this.

Or you know, you could just visit them right.

You don't do movies on Saturday's and church on Sundays and important maintenance during the week at family residences?

I saw somewhere else (News24?) where the minister said they haven't yet updated the death toll, hence the zeroes.

Each cinema has HEPA filters which contains 99 percent of the Covid virus in the air.

WC 13:00 each day:
WC 11/06: 927 (+36)
WC 10/06: 891 (+40)
WC 09/06: 851

Still going up each day. Rather believe these figs than the HoD because they are so erratic about what time of day the reports are generated.
