What has happened to Total Recoveries?
I see they have been 'stuck' on 716444 for a few days, which means that Active Cases have seen an active rise, (to an inaccurate number!)

Our Governments official statistics also exclude details of recoveries, without any explanation as to why they are no longer being reported on.

Thanks for that @Dela Rey Steyn

I see they say their information comes from the NICD, Department of Health and Provincial Departments? ... however this must be a "guess-timation", as Gauteng Province Officials recently stated; "There is a problem with the Gauteng recovery data and we are giving urgent attention to the issue of reconciliation"

Those are received numbers, verified. But it does not include all data yet. So yes, it could be higher.

SA Post Office customs scam
The SA Post Office has warned against a phishing scam which is being used to defraud South Africans.
It said in a statement that this scam involves members of the public receiving an email which says that they owe customs duties.
“The SA Post Office continues to receive enquiries from members of the public who receive an email stating that a package could not be delivered to them because of outstanding customs duties,” said the SA Post Office.
In these emails, the address of the sender is manipulated to look as if it was actually sent by the Post Office, whereas in fact it is sent by a malicious party.

I still haven't relinquished my P3 respirator, doing up to 3 hrs at a time with it on, experimented with oximeter (and taking in to consideration that I have pretty strong allergies), 98% saturation constantly. Anyone who has worn proper PPE can testify as to how much moisture builds up in side, this year I haven't caught one respiratory infection (because I actually clean the mask). Seriously don't understand how the world had degraded to a point where pseudoscience becomes truth so readily.

I had rough run with a flu last week. At least the Covid was negative. So the other bugs are doing the rounds with schools back and public transports operating at over capacity and masks/social distancing becoming less of a priority.

In the last 10 years social media has evolved from an instrument for keeping up with friends and family to a mouthpiece for anybody with a popular following that can tell a convincing story. Thats why theories like "the liberal lizard people who live of the blood of infants are forcing the public into submission by enforcing masks" becomes more popular. I've stopped trying to argue with the QAnons of this world. It's just very exhausting.

Great to hear your allergies are getting under control!
