South Africa's third wave "stuck"

[Azbubu]

Why would you be near the landlord and her family?

How do you think he pays the rent?

WC and KZN said hold my beers and their numbers are close to what GP had at it's peak.

Really? Sure WC and KZN are high but GP had like 12k cases a day for a few days straight. WC has been hovering around 40000 for some time.

 

[pinball wizard]

you want my whole life story?

Please.

I know I see the world differently to some people, but what you did is like people who voted for Bush Jr twice.

There is a % chance that I could've potentially infected and killed my parents. The test is free, so why not?

 

[Lupus]

How do you think he pays the rent?

EFT? Debit order? Monthly payment plan through the bank? When I rented I didn't even know my landlords face.

Right I clicked

Prepare for the next argument which is : “you could’ve gotten infected during/after getting the test and still exposed your parents”

Also, the test is free?

That is beyond idiotic, people go for testing for peace of mind and to know if they should tell their contacts to isolate and get tested. Not some government fear machine.

I was tested five times between 13 and 21 August. I have to admit there was a sense of relief each time the result came back negative.

WC hasn't got near 5 figures of cases per day...I think highest was around 4500 a few weeks ago. Gauteng got to about 12000 or so.

It's tiring already, I dont know how these people keep it up. I'm restricting myself to sports and workout sections from now on.

Actually got to 16 000 at one point, but it's also 3 times larger in population size, remember we got to do everything by population ratios. So 16 000 would be the same as 5000 in WC

What if his parents infected him?

Well he could've yes.

 

[Azbubu]

What if his parents infected him?

That’s fine. They brought him into this world and they can take him out of it.

 

[DapperDanMan]

So we are going to slide straight into the fourth wave from the third wave?

And will this merger-mayhem be renamed as the F-irth wave or as the Th-irth wave?

This is the thing, people need to start living with it, as "scary" as it sounds.

I wonder when businesses will stop closing and fumigating just bevause of a (presumably one) covid case.

Made an appointment at Standard Bank for today, got there and it's closed for today bevause of covid.

Then there's the blasted masks...

There are still businesses doing that? I haven't seen one doing that for like almost a year, are you sure it's just not Standard Bank being Standard Bank?

The local SAPS office does it every other week.

So Standard Bank and the SAPS... 2 organizations that I don't really see functioning properly in BC times.

Apparently there are still schools doing that.

Seriously, my MYBB Expert™ opinion is that we would return to a semblance of normalcy only by the end of next year. Or somewhere sometime.

Well my office has once again said sorry guys, back to the office in September is now February, which would mean almost 2 years WFH, that would be a massive massive adjustment again.
