In light of the lockdown

My Broadband
There has been a break on the WACS (West Africa Cable System) undersea cable which is affecting Internet connectivity in South Africa.

According to a post by TENET, the operating partner of the South African national research and education network, WACS capacity dropped at 23:28 last night.
 
Patrice Motsepe also donated a billion Rand to aid the fight against corona virus.
We are now waiting for other billionaires like Koos Bekker, Douw Steyn, Christo Wiese, Laurie Dippenaar, Cyril Ramaphosa, Tokyo Sexwale, GT Ferreira etc to come to the party. [Twitter]

Staying at home due to COVID-19 IS not boring.I just realized that a Tastic 2kg has 8652 of grains whereas the other brands have 8559 of grains .So I recommend that people should buy Spekko as it has 9005 and 90 broken grains .I'm now counting hullets, be patient.

News24:

LATEST - 28 MARCH:
Total cases are now at 1 187.


Health Minister Zweli Mkhize cautioned in a statement, that, the latest numbers do not indicate a reduction in the number of infections.
"It is merely a reflection of positive results that were received, verified and ready for today’s reporting."
PROVINCIAL BREAKDOWN (28 March):


533 - Gauteng
271 - Western Cape; 1 death
156 - KwaZulu-Natal
68 - Free State
6 - North West
10 - Mpumalanga
11 - Limpopo
5 - Northern Cape
10 - Eastern Cape
117 - Cases that are not allocated per province.

OTHER KEY NUMBERS (27 March - no new update):
31
- Total number of recoveries
55 - Total number of patients in hospitals (both public and private)
4 - Total number of patients in ICU
3 - Total number of patients on ventilators
 
If you , like me get meds from a hospital/ clinic , some assuring:

Four provinces have made positive moves to announce that patients on chronic medicines will be able to have their prescriptions filled for as long as three to four months in order to minimise their exposure to possible the Covid-19 coronavirus infection in public spaces like clinics.

Gauteng, the North West, the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal have plans for chronic patients to receive their medicines for three to four months to limit exposure to the coronavirus. Patients can also call the 0600 123 456 hotline for help and the department is working on targeted electronic communication to service providers and clinicians.

But in practice, it is unlikely that all patients will immediately be able to pick up a three-month supply of their medicines throughout all facilities by their next collection date.

Officials from the national department of health say that in balancing stock levels and managing logistics in a time of the Covid-19 national lockdown multi-month script refills across the board will not be a reality, even though it is being assessed for implementation.

''As we were told to depart the Nizamiye mosque at 1pm, the sounds of the Azaan echoed on the speakers, with only the birds firmly perched on the tiled roof, there to take in the beautiful melody, seemingly without concern.''

The maker of Corona (beer) has already lost sales of R4.3 billion to the corona virus
  • AB InBev, the giant maker of beers such as Castle Lager and Budweiser, says the Covid-19 virus outbreak has hit its sales hard.
  • It lost the equivalent of R4.3 billion worth of sales in China in the first two months, the company estimated on Thursday, and it thinks the earnings impact will be around R2.5 billion.
  • AB InBev also happens to own the Corona brand, which has made it the subject of bad jokes around the novel corona virus.

Maybe SA is right. It's not that we don't need PPE, it's more a case of not having enough, therefore rather give what we have to medical personnel.
 
A journalist with Cape Talk said yesterday that he had been told by some people in Alexandria that the virus won't come to Alex, because it's a Chinese virus. It's this ignorance / misunderstanding which is so dangerous, because those people will not take the situation seriously.

To me the greatest problem is people who do not take this situation seriously. In my town someone posted on FB yesterday that their neighbours had friends visiting them!
