My stray is in quite a bad condition too btw.

Ive been giving him Doxy-syrup (antibiotics) and tomorrow its Revolution.

I gave him an initial dose of Capstar which is excellent to get rid of the mass flea infestation.

You can buy Doxy-Syrup online without an expensive trip to the vet and they deliver super fast.

So the news is that a vaccine will more than likely give immunity for the same length of time as acquiring the virus and gaining natural immunity (give or take 8 months). Which means we will need a significant amount of people to willingly take the vaccine in order to starve it out of hosts. So it seems that will more than likely become endemic at a point, something we'll just have to live with.
 
Please please please can I rant...just this once. Its too frustrating to keep this in.

WTF! Did I genuinely just see her turn THIS into a race issue...WHICH South Africans?????
Shame this poor guy is so over it.

This virus genuinely isnt as bad as the media/politicians would have us believe. Do your research. Its time for us to admit we were spooked and over-reacted. Yes certain people are vulnerable bla bla bla. And then regarding this vaccine...(nuff said)

Here is the thing

the virus is bad, really really bad. It has the potential to do the same damage that the Spanish flu virus did in 1918. Millions of people could potentially die.

We have one thing that they did not have in 1918 and that is instant worldwide communication. The misinformation regarding the virus is dangerous.

It could be argued that if people, not gov's or organizations, but people, take steps to protect themselves first and then the health services next then we will beat this thing. We should be protecting ourselves on a daily basis. It amazes me that if someone dies from Pneumonia it is acceptable, but if we die from Covid 19 then some one is to blame.

93% of SA fatalities are reported to be over 40. So now everyone under 40 thinks I am going to be OK jack, let the over 40's die because I won't self regulate. Well stuff you, if it needs to be forced upon you because you can't behave ... so be it.

Yeah screw old people.

but there are signs of the inflammatory disease in kids showing up in 20 somethings too. Some people have been fighting it for months. Don't worry though things are only serious if it kills me and the people I know, until then it's just other people. Just like when HIV was called the "gay cancer", because gay people would develop a rare form of cancer near the start of that pandemic, HIV was nothing to worry about while it was only "the evil" gay people getting it, and for the most part it's still considered something only "dirty slutty" people get.
