Does anyone have any information about a "Family Meeting" tomorrow night?
Apparently it's to do with inter provincial travel
Covid-19: Ramaphosa convenes urgent command council meeting over Omicron
NO WORD ON THE NEXT FAMILY MEETING AS CABINET EXTENDS NATIONAL STATE OF DISASTER
First link is for last week's council meeting.
I honestly don't see them banning provincial travel this late in to the holiday season.
Correct it was last weeks CCC meeting where inter provincial travel was raised and that's all we know?
As to banning provincial travel this late in the day, history has unfortunately shown that they do make irrational decisions, so as much as I'd love to agree with you, I'd like to hear it from the proverbial horses mouth before committing to travel arrangements.
It was announced on Friday the new price agreed by the National Pathology Group will be R500.
That's very cheap for a PCR test.
Family meeting…. Bring it on…

there’s a problem with the stats. They don’t add up!
Edit:
holly crap! 37k ???
NICD handle is saying they reported cases which weren't reported during the week due to 'IT issues'.
This is a mess! They can’t just inflate new cases for today to catch up on last weeks issues…. I honestly freaked out when I saw the numbers. They should just add them to the total number of cases when there are delays like this…
It’s a scary mess but that’s still a big bloody number for the weekend when there’s usually a slump!
Agree. It started to look like we were over the peak this week. Meanwhile it's still climbing. They need to do something about the reporting.

Cyril Ramaphosa tests positive for Covid-19 and is isolating in Cape Town

Yeah so pretty much an avg of 3000 odd cases per day not reported. 15% to 20% under reported every day.
Wonder if they are gonna suddenly spring a few thousand additional deaths on like that as well one of the days
Omicron Update: Dec 13

We now have 8 lab studies all largely saying the same thing: Omicron significantly reduces the number of neutralizing antibodies from a 2-dose mRNA series compared to previous variants.
Importantly, a “reduction in neutralizing antibodies” is not the same thing as “reduction in vaccine effectiveness”. This is because immune systems are adaptive and diverse thanks to other types of antibodies, B-cells (antibody factories), and T-cells (secondary line of defense). So it’s important to look at other data too.
A study over the weekend showed that neutralizing antibodies among people previously infected with Alpha (panel E), Beta (panel F), and Delta (panel G) completely failed to attach to Omicron. Those that were infected + vaccinated (or vaccinated + infected) had a strong response to Omicron (panel H).

In stupid people English please?
More studies that the jab works.
If you had Covid and the jab you are shap.
Only Covid, not so much.
Natural immunity after Covid infection VS. Omicron:
Vaccinated immunity after Covid infection VS. Omicron :
#COVID19 UPDATE: As part of our public health surveillance activities, we remain committed to transparent reporting, and depend on private and public sector laboratories to provide #COVID19 testing data. The National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS) released a statement earlier today confirming that the challenges experienced with the upgrade of the NHLS IT systems have now been resolved.
The NICD teams are working through the data, which is now flowing into the #COVID19 laboratory data stream. And we would like to indicate that the reporting backlog may result in the inclusion of retrospective case data over the next few days in the daily #COVID19 surveillance reports.
We ask for patience and understanding during this period and thank the public for their continued interest.

In other words, the numbers will still be inflated for another dew days and we won't have an accurate idea about the new cases in the middle of the 4th wave.... what a mess!
Was that explanation just for me?
You win the internet today
almost choked on my beef potjie I laughed so hard at this.
