Interesting how KZN has much higher ICU as percentage of admitted
@Rob Fisher , whats going on down there?
Too many morons not wearing masks and social distancing! ON the trip to the dam yesterday I don't think I saw one mask!
Down here they count the staff working in ICU too, as well as the visitors... It's actually all the Vaalies jumping the border before they were allowed too that ended up in hospital and pushed up the KZN figures...
While one can argue that wearing a mask may protect you from getting infected, how exactly it can influence severity of the symptoms?
Interesting, tell me, did KZN not get some new hospitals in the last couple of years. I see the new recovery rates are also very high, maybe because people are being put into ICU and ventilated earlier due to hospital capacity.
It's because we are so desensitized to death etc in this country. Like in all fairness it's still less people than those that die in car accidents every year in this country.
South Africans literally don't ever really GAF about anything serious.
no they still here @Adephi
Am just discussing with them the possibility of becoming a supporting vendor
I was going to add a comment, but I'm stuck with loadshedding issues now I'm contemplating getting a job at Eskom so I can get paid to say, sorry I can't help you!
Very happy day today, my cousin is out of hospital! Home to recover for another week.
I heard a story in the radio this morning about more than 30k people got the R350 grant without them qualifying. Some are even government employees!

@Grand Guru , it seems to be stabilizing and improving but still seesaw on new infections , recoveries and death. Will summer help with this. Glad to see Mapumalanga is going reasonably well on paper, working there for 10 days soon.
The seesaw pattern could be explained by the laboratory turnaround times and the different processes for information verification and validation. When you look at the figures seek an average over a 2 week period and they'll make more sense. It doesn't look like there is a seasonal pattern in the spread if the infections, judging by what is currently happening in Western Europe. Unfortunately, the only measures that seem to be effective in controlling the spread are the ones limiting people movements and freedom. We may witness a second peak at any point in time.
Some Pasta and mince (and mushrooms, and prosciutto, red onions,garlic and fresh herbs) by "flashlight" tonight.
