I know - aint it wonderful. I took the other site to task about it but one of the more level-headed mods has decided to defend them. I just don't get it.

Not quite following?

You mean they believe we're going back to 3?

Not a chance.

I ain't following either.

I think level 2 is possible, but not probable.

I am still glad I stocked up, I don't think they would be foolish enough to have another lockdown but stranger things have happened.

A more extensive enforced mask mandate might happen though. Which I'm fine with.

Got a big booze order today...

They wrote an article that suggested (but not expressed) a hard lockdown. They were reckless and they know it. But their pride, as always, prevents them from admitting this. I remember when I called them out on their DSTV Myth article, they stood their ground until the quoted source took them to task then suddenly a little (very little) backtracking happened.

Have you watched South Park's Pandemic Special? In it, people where masks over their chins and call them chin diapers. I went to Mafikeng a couple of weeks back and let me tell you, that is exactly what I saw - chin diapers.

I have now modified my mask to include a pig snout.

That snout adds another level of filtering, although not by design.

I did. I see more people not even bothering with masks rather than the chin mask.

That was the last straw for me.

That was the last straw for me.

And understandably so.

Yeah. 52k odd... 2nd wave loading?

For me, the stand out for this week is the complete absence of any address by our president.

Over 10k deaths the last 24 hours. Daily deaths seldom break through the 10k mark... things are ramping up...
