Lockdown diaries - COVID-19 matters!

[Resistance]

Day ?
A youngster flying on the road drove into my car at a stop sign this afternoon. I thank God he was driving a small car. He could have killed me on the spot! I got away with a few bruises and some damage to the car but I think his car will be written off... he obviously has no insurance and learner license

Hope things work out, It's problematic having these types of things happen. Sometimes the repercussions are worse than the ordeal. Glad you're OK, Get well soon!

Not a nice one @Grand Guru , but glad to hear you were not seriously injured, him neither although he caused it, and how do you drive, especially with just a learners and not have insurance? Because you can’t lawfully, that’s why. Know of parents that had a choice of accepting liability for a claim as someone died in an accident with their son, also just learners, or say he stole the car, then no liability against their insurance. They actually chose the latter and got him a great lawyer.

Had to go fetch Locust 2’s warranty claim replacement screen today before he writes exams online, and if ever there was a cause for fear this lockdown has destroyed people’s ability to look, think and drive at the same time, it’s atrocious! Nearly got taken out twice on the way there and once on the way back, and yep, it was youngsters driving.

Maybe someone should tell them it’s not Grand Theft Highway, you indicate and then come over if it’s safe, just indicating doesn’t make my car vanish, and if you crawl up my @ss it’s not going to make my car faster while I overtake. And stop streets are things that other people obey, but this is where lawlessness starts. Also a slow round of applause for the young lady with the learner sticker with her mother next to her turning without even slowing down, never mind stopping. And a single clap for her mother as this was the second stop street in a row. She nearly connected the sidewalk jerking the wheel back, so I stopped once on her behalf as well.

Hope you feel better soon, bruises heal and cars can be fixed or replaced, but a life lost is forever. Stay safe.

That is crazy @Grand Guru! Happy you are safe and that no one was seriously injured, could have just as easily been a lot worse.

My trip home from work involved avoiding cars trying to dodge fallen rocks on my carriage way. My driving skills was tested to the max.

A Good chiropractor might be able to help. The injury will still be there , but good treatment will eventually reap benefits.

Here's one for SWAMBO, @Dela Rey Steyn. Thinking of her with gratitude for what she's doing and may both of you stay safe.

Thank you very much @Hooked! She said to tell you, she appreciates it immensely. I really do feel that we must support and give gratitude to people on all levels, making a semi-normal life for us all possible. People at grassroots level are risking exposure every day to serve us. From the cleaner in the store, making sure to disinfect as we shop, to people like @Adephi and the laboratories he works for, processing testing at a rapid rate to keep us informed. And as always Healthcare professionals like @Grand Guru on the front lines. People love to say, "but it is still low case numbers" believe me, they are already working in overdrive, and will continue to do so when the numbers start skyrocketing. These people are heroes in my eyes, along with every citizen that does their part to keep themselves and those around them safe.

Thanks very much for this @Grand Guru !
Very informative to see the hospital admissions, ICU and ventilated numbers

I assume those hospital stats are current and not cumulative

Seems like for Gauteng and WCape it’s roughly the following
10% of active cases admitted to hospital
10% of admissions are in ICU
About half of ICU are ventilated

So if you get COVID you probably have a half a percentage chance of being ventilated.. ie 1/200

Sorry to hear about this @Grand Guru , glad to hear you weren’t seriously hurt
People drive like mad in SA
Makes me very sad

There are both new cases and totals for all the columns @Silver and yes the numbers are below the predictions. We were expecting 20% of Hospital admissions and 5% of cases requiring ICU at some stage. We’ll see how things evolve as the numbers continue rising in other provinces as it’s quite certain now that provinces are going to reach their peaks and plateau at different times.

Thanks @Grand Guru
Holding thumbs for all you guys in the front lines of the battle
Thanks for what you all do
Wish I could help more actively but am trying to just not catch or spread the virus, so I hope that helps

I'm fairly convinced this whole "CV19 pandemic" is a scamdemic.
You may not gather in groups to protest lockdown, attend funerals or church, but its quite okay to gather and protest if you're doing it under the banner of BLM.(black lives matter)

"An open letter signed by 1,288 “public health officials, infectious disease professionals, and community stakeholders” came out in support of the mass protests spurred by the death of George Floyd in police custody, refusing to denounce them as “risky” and calling them “vital to the national public health.”
