I'm sure there are a couple of floaters out in Milnerton and Camps Bay that they can test.

Can they carbon-date floaters to see how old they are??

Here are the official rules for legal hair cuts, manicures, or tattoos | Businessinsider

Salons may open from Friday night, although they may offer no scalp massages at basins, and massages have to come with a time limit.

Just in time to try and make the Court Case irrelevant.

Wonder what the Judge is going to do now.

The average deaths has been slowing, could be a reporting delay but lets hope not

Brown graph is on Linear scale and his reply has log graphs

The thick plottens you say?

I wouldn't be surprised if Rona wasn't in Cape Town before the world went crazy.

We've been having it

And the stupid just gets bigger and bigger.

You can get a full body massage from a masseuse but your hairdresser cannot give your scalp a massage while washing your hair.

Please can the gogo and the chipmunk explain the science behind this

A few useful insights into containing the spread in SA, since lockdown and contact tracing have failed, and discussion of hygiene and exposure risks:

Op-Ed: South Africa can get Covid-19 under control if it blocks the routes that enable transmission

As the lockdown is relaxed, South Africa’s focus should now be on how best to suppress the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus using other strategies. Policy should be informed by understanding the spread of the virus both in terms of the main mechanism of transmission (respiratory particles) as well...

The importance of super-spreading events can be seen in the finding, in a still to be peer-reviewed article, that roughly 80% of Covid-19 infections are attributable to 20% of infected people. More interesting is a finding that roughly 70% of people with Covid-19 did not infect anyone else.

Is this true?

Ah yes, but yours wasn't handle by tender, through a 4xBEE government friend, I mean uhm err company.

My 2 x 2.5KL + 1 x 5KL, pump, controller, filter, valves & plumbing cost slightly less than R25K in 2008.

Granted, it was DIY.

So R600 tank from builders

Eco Tanks 260L Urban Dispenser - Grey (600 x 600 x 1090mm)

ECO URBAN DISPENSER 260V L/GRY

www.builders.co.za

Total probably a grand for that? So 170 times the profit.

Only 85x, the other half is a kickback.

I would strongly advise against believing stuff on Twitter when it aligns with our agendas. Not saying this is or isn't true, just saying.

Just before the schools reopened there was a tweet going around about how the WMC Bidvest was getting all the tenders, the tweet went on to boldly declare that Bidvest has been given a tender to disinfect all schools in Gauteng, Panyaza later clarified that Bidvest has in fact offered, free of charge to disinfect the schools and even posted proof of that.

We are in the top 20 now.

Called all of this weeks ago!
Do not understand why the experts could not see the wood for the trees.

I see Gauteng has now left Eastern Cape in its wake as it puts in a serious effort to catch up to, and overtake Western Cape
