Thats the one.
I wonder how that twit in the comments feels now, he couldnt understand why people are preoccupied with gain of function research.
Jip, whether it was man or bat made, we'll probably never now until the truth surfaces. But for now at least I think it is safe to assume a.) it wasn't caused by 5G and b.) it is devastating. And I hope the world as a collective recovers from this ASAP. All we can do now is our part in slowing it down and doing our best not to help spread it. SWAMBO and her team of nurses at the hospital share a great manta from the medical world regarding COVID19: Don't fear the disease, fear the spread!So some scientists say its bat-made and some say its man-made...
Just make sure before you spread you get paid....
So many customers walk off with no payment if you spread without collecting payment first.
But lockdown has already been extended to end of April, so the week of 10 - 16 April is irrelevant, or am I missing something?
Prof Karrim explained on Monday night that if the number of new cases per day is more than 90 on average between 10 and 16 April then it highly recommend that the lockdown gets extended as is. And at the moment its not looking too good.
In case you missed it, here is the video.
Quite lengthy but the whole situation was so well explained. Its worth a watch.

Petrol stations ask South Africans to wear masks in stores
https://www.businessinsider.co.za/petrol-stations-masks-2020-4
15 April 2020
"The South African Petroleum Retailers Association (SAPRA), which represents 750 fuel stations, has requested that all customers wear masks when they enter convenience stores.
This follows government advice that South Africans should start wearing cloth masks to help limit the spread of Covid-19.
"Wearing masks is important. We want to recommend widespread use of masks,” health minister Zweli Mkhize said last week. “We are recommending that people use cloth masks and just make sure there's a three-layer kind of thing," he said during a briefing on Friday.
SAPRA director Vishal Premlall said in a statement on Wednesday that the masks could help protect customers as well as workers at petrol stations. "As essential workers, employees at petrol stations don’t have the option of staying home. Instead, they risk their health every day, not only on public transport to reach the workplace, but also serving hundreds of customers who may or may not be infected. "That’s why our request to wear masks is a serious one.”
“While we cannot enforce this as we know some customers don’t have the materials to make their own masks or cannot afford to purchase one, we have made it possible for customers to purchase the goods they require without entering the forecourt shop by ordering through the cashier’s window,” said Premlall.

Thousands Protest At Michigan State Capitol Defying The Strict Social Distancing Orders
https://iheartintelligence.com/thou...l-defying-the-strict-social-distancing-orders
The people protesting believe the new order is violating their freedom, as Mail Online reports.
Moreover, the protesters insisted that they are grown people, and they can decide for themselves when it comes to protecting themselves from coronavirus.
[My comment: Unbelievable!!!]

My father always said: "Dronk raak nugter, maar Dom kom nooit weer reg nie." A drunk can get sober, but an imbecile can never come right" You just can't cure stupid @Hooked!
Personally I think it escaped the lab and the wet market was a convenient, plausible, difficult to disprove scapegoat. But that's not based on fact in way, just what seems most likely to me. I'm perfectly happy with wet markets taking the fall in any case. Not a fan of those.
Also bush did 9/11 and Epstein didn't kill himself.

I have some ideas of my own. With all the conspiracy theories out there and a few countries heavily focused on blaming one particular country, I will wait to see what's the outcome.
All I will however say is the air we breathe isn't the same. Everytime I go out I get a buzzing irritating headache when I'm outside and when I return I feel light headed. Now in my household I'm not the only one experiencing this. For now I'll stick to virus.
Ha Ha and they laughed at me with my gloves, mask and tin foil hat at Spar.
For me, there is no such coincidence as it came out of a wet market. There is evidence to show that bat corona viruses were being worked on in the Wuhan lab and that research was being done on bat to human transmissions. Given governments around the world constantly and consistently hide information from the public, I think this is the case. That virus was being worked on and it got out. I don't think I am falling for the weaponizing of the virus or that it was intentional. Like all the good movies, it got out accidentally and the cover up started.
We are our worst enemies and are still cavemen regardless of how clever our vape devices have become. We spend more time, energy and money on ways to kill each other than on world peace. There are still madmen among us who believe war (in any form, including bio weapons) are a solution.

It's airborne. You can get it if someone coughs/sneezes and you walk past where they coughed/sneezed.

Agree... So much is being spent on maintaining things that doesn't really matter instead of things that can change the world for the better.

Trump pledged to send “thousands” of ventilators and other equipment to SA. The details of which are yet to be finalised
“President Trump has pledged his support to SA and Africa in general in the fight against the coronavirus,” Diko said.
The ‘elephant in the room’ — Trump’s decision to withhold support from the WHO — was not discussed in the meeting."
I hope they finalize the details asap.

Found this interesting map from the CSIR.
It's based on the vulnerability index that takes into concideration current infections, infrastructure (hospitals, health services and access to them) and how the community adhere to lockdown regulations. How they calculate it I don't know. But it is interesting nonetheless.
