96 seems rather low for someone healthy and out jogging all the time.
You should be concerned at anything under 93.
You should be on supplementary oxygen at 90.

I'm guessing it might be somewhat of an underestimate. Not too concerned for now -- I'm breathing perfectly fine after having just come back from a 6km run in this boiling hot weather. :p

The political elite privately and quietly buying some vaccines for themselves.

Six semis seem but a bit excessive for this, but then the girth of the political elite is also quite excessive, so on general consideration I suspect this is the most likely suspect without another explanation.

<edit>also could be fake news. There's quite a bit of that going around the place.</edit>

- None of the prevention measures are 100% effective.
- Getting it maybe partly due to the negligence of others - e.g. those with chin masks etc.
- Human nature to sympathize / emphasize. Large number of diseases are preventable to an extent (not just Covid-19), yet people still get sick.

What are the statistical probabilities of you catching it from someone wearing their masks under their nose/chin?
My view is that most of those getting it these days have poor hand-to-face hygiene, which again speaks to people not taking personal responsibility for their health and then blaming others, like the chin-maskers.

To me those who are personally-negligent are the main cause for the high numbers we're being fed by the State. We're 9 months in with piles of information on how to avoid contracting the virus; those who're still catching Covid today overwhelmingly deserve it. It sucks though that the millions of us who don't, because we take responsibility for our own health when we go about, are left to deal with the consequences of those morons.

And no, I'm not talking about those who go to beaches/bars/etc. They are used as scapegoats for ANC and MSM to avoid accountability of the failing healthcare system, which the ANC broke over the past 26 years.

I'd also like to know how many are getting covid after following all protocols. Mind you, for millions, getting into a crowded taxi is a necessity so there's that. What's the saying about taxi's? One engine, Multiple transmissions.

It's strange to me that those who are diagnosed with Covid, in spite of all the available information on how to avoid contracting it and the draconian lockdown regulations, are considered victims. Even stranger, an overwhelming number of those who've died or badly suffered due to Covid-related complications, knew (or had to know) that they were at risk, yet they still went out and got infected.

The numbers today are higher than ever, in spite of everything published and MSM talking about it 90% of the time. How can they still be victims?

Am I missing something?

Yes, a brain. Condolences.

Soldiers deployed to Garden Route beaches while foreigners are crossing the border. ANC has lost the plot entirely.
