We have a young population, but there are other risk factors involved. ZA has a high incidence of heart disease, a high incidence of smokers, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Especially the high blood pressure thing because we're a meat-eating country that chows boerewors like it's the air we breathe.

And we have the highest TB population and about 3.5 million HIV/AIDS sufferers not taking their meds.

It's going to be a bad time.

Yeah, yeah.

Still not one critical case here and more importantly, not one death.

The Eastern Cape government is implementing stringent measures to prevent tourists spreading coronavirus in the province.
This comes after a German tourist, who is part of a tour group at Chintsa's Crawford's Beach Lodge, tested positive for the virus, reports DispatchLIVE.
The group arrived at the resort on Friday night. On Saturday night, the infected tourist received a call to say he had tested positive for the virus.
The provincial health department is “baffled” at how the tourist was allowed to travel, as he had reported symptoms in KwaZulu-Natal.
So we have the Germans arriving at Chintsa, and a Mercedes-Benz representative who landed in the Western Cape, zig-zagged across it visiting dealerships, went to KZN, and then stayed at the same Crawford Lodge.

Sadly this is hilarious.

Nervous Californians have started calling police on their neighbors to report loud coughing and sneezing during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Palm Springs police department - around 100 miles east of Los Angeles - said it had fielded around five such calls in the past week, according to The Desert Sun.

Chiefs in neighboring Cathedral City also reported getting similar calls, though couldn't say exactly how many.

Eish

Oh god.. I've just received another whatsapp fearmongering voice note...

Some white politician (highest in the ANC apparently), is with Cyril and Tito and all of them all the time... and we're going into full lockdown in 4 - 5 days, and they're planning on squashing this in 21-24 days....

Seriously, are people really that fscking stupid?

Those racists will still be blaming whitey while they are busy dying of the virus, it's a mental disorder.
