No fscken respect for the people. No sense of time keeping.

Can never give a time, and when they do it's done at the last minute, and even then it's always a delay due to last minute consultations...

There has been an increase of 318 cases and 10 more people have died as result of the disease.
1473 recoveries, 843 of them in Gauteng with our 8 deaths it means our active cases are down to 401, lower than the WC by a long shot and now lower than KZN.

Another 318 new cases today...

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but consider the following:
- the highest numbers just before lockdown
- lowest numbers immediately after lockdown
- numbers keep low but start to increase shortly before lockdown is extended
- highest numbers ever just before presidential address re what to do next...

Am I seeing something??
The recoveries are at 1473? So that went up as well.

testing results are delayed as is showing symptoms to be tested. that and testing has ramped up as well as people not taking lockdown seriously.

The tests have increased to 9796 today that contributed
Correct, but positive test outcomes have always been in the 3% region (ie 3% of total tests show positive). So would this not show they are conducting and reporting test accordingly (ie highest before lockdown, before announcing, lowest after lockdown).

Remember that the number of tests after the start of the initial lockdown actually DECREASED for some days.

Back to you...
