SA rolls out second vaccine trial...

South Africa will launch clinical trials of a US-developed coronavirus vaccine with 2,900 volunteers this week, the second such study in the African country worst hit by the disease, lead investigator Shabir Madhi said Tuesday.

Known as NVX-CoV2373, the vaccine was developed by US biotech company Novavax from the genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease.

It will be administered to the first volunteer in the randomised, observer-blinded trial on Wednesday.

Which is why I will continue getting home deliveries (and then disinfect/quarantine).

My buddy Masi has been released from the COVID ward at Pelonomi after 21 days.

His SpO2 dropped to 80, he saw lots of people die around him but he made it.

Raising a glass to him tonight (y)
Glad your friend made it - very glad

A colleague told me this morning that his mother and grandmother have Covid. He is depressed.

Imo, that's a load of bollox.

To be fair,it will be closed tonight after 5 pm. ;)

They even had some guy from the Presidency who said on the news that it was not true. I just thought, yeah sure pal. Are you surprised people don’t believe you?

Grabbed a shit load today anyway. Not necessarily because of the rumour, but because a major restock was needed. 12 x VAT69 at the front.
