I know it was meant to be sarcastic

99 workers at 'unsafe' Cape Town pharma factory have Covid-19

Ninety-nine staff at a single Cape Town factory which was closed down this week by the labour department have tested positive for Covid-19.

A pharma company with one of the highest production safety levels in place already. What do they expect from other businesses?? Watch for multiple business closures and supply chain disruptions as we slowly reopen.

Also watch for gradual shift to full automation in businesses where it is possible to elimitane labour.

This whole thing is starting to feel like some obscene sci-fi distopian matrix movie.

Go to work. Perform. Go home. Do not talk to anyone. Obey. Do not question. For the benefit of all.

With that in mind;
Further research in the States now suggests high numbers with this(?) virus for a long time, about 50%, so looks like they can say what they want anytime as the "proof" is always easily on hand.

I think I'll go quiet for a while.

Exactly like that.

Be a good minion.

Claims today by another SS officer that the lotto will be stopped.

Must be the last one.

I actually hope it is, will just add fuel to what's now needed.

For booze it would make more sense to open from 12 to 4

Those queues are going to beat the Black Friday ones.

Yup 70 000 troops aren't enough.

We do not have 70 000 troops as in foot soldiers. More like 10k-15k

But clinicians around the world are seeing evidence that suggests the virus also may be causing heart inflammation, acute kidney disease, neurological malfunction, blood clots, intestinal damage and liver problems. That development has complicated treatment for the most severe cases of covid-19, the illness caused by the virus, and makes the course of recovery less certain, they said.

I think the loto is going on, you have to buy it online. The other day they bragged about having 900000 people playing lotto online. The lockdown has worked in their favour as now they don’t have to pay the shops commission for selling.
