Damn, my hypertension isn’t going to help me get into phase 2 anymore. Meh.
...those living in congregate settings such as old-age homes and prisons.

I can't see us receiving shots by the end of this year.

So you're both ruling out prison? Quitters...

So you're both ruling out prison? Quitters...

I don't think they want those kind of shots....

They're in Cape Town, Subaru, those are the exact shots they want. Ask Grant

Basically gone?!

Basically gone?!

I think it depends where you live.

Yesterday.

I realise there are still 50 people dying per day. But the numbers here, being a tourist town, doesn't make sense.

I'm afraid all the numbers concerning covid in South Africa stopped making sense to me a while ago.
But I do hear what you are saying about your neck of the woods and it does at times seem to be a good indicator of the big picture.

Perhaps mask wearing, which Saffers are good with in public spaces, is the factor.

 

[Düber]

I think it the whole combination of you and me wearing our masks, washing our hands and just following the guidelines. Each in isolation is not particularly effective but when combined is.
The sad thing is I have noticed people becoming lax about these things. Perhaps not so much in Hermanus but certainly in Jo'burg.

 

[bigAl-sa]

Ok, it looks as though you need to start stocking up, and being a bit more careful again. Prof Niko's graph is showing the dreaded upturn.

positives/no of tests

 

[bigAl-sa]

My death graphs for SA are still looking ok, but deaths are always behind the infections

Be careful people

Some good news for South Africa’s Covid-19 vaccine rollout

South Africa finally received good news regarding its vaccination rollout, with the first batch of 325,260 Pfizer vaccines arriving in the country overnight.

businesstech.co.za

Plans are in place to inoculate 16.5 million people from May to October with the aid of private healthcare providers, which will buy shots from the national government. This forms part of the phase 2 of the rollout, targeting vulnerable individuals and essential workers.

Phase 3 of the rollout, which will open up the shots to the rest of the country, are expected to start in November.

2022 Here we come...
