...Dis-Chem has closed almost all of its Covid-19 drive-through testing facilities until 4 January 2021, citing serious logistical challenges brought about by the second wave of infections.

Most Dis-Chem drive-through testing stations have been closed from Monday 28 December to Thursday 31 December due to challenges with medical personnel "working at the frontline”, says Dis-Chem. The company added that laboratories also don't have capacity to process the tests.

“Most of the labs have advised today [28 December] that they have reached capacity and will prioritise very ill Covid symptom patients,” Dis-Chem says.

Only the V&A Cape Town, OR Tambo and Cape Road in Port Elizabeth drive-through testing facilities will remain open. Also, only 100 tests per location, per day will be done. This is to ensure that results will be available within two to three days.

All drive-through testing facilities should be opened by 4 January..."

US pharmacist arrested on charges of sabotaging Covid-19 vaccine doses

"A Wisconsin hospital pharmacist was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of sabotaging more than 500 doses of coronavirus vaccine by deliberately removing them from refrigeration to spoil, police and medical authorities said.

The pharmacist, an employee of Aurora Medical Center in Grafton, Wisconsin, at the time that 57 vials of vaccine were found left out of cold storage earlier this week, has since been fired but has not been publicly identified, officials said.

Each vial contains 10 doses. Nearly 60 of the doses in question were administered before hospital officials determined the medication had been left unrefrigerated long enough to render the vaccine ineffective. The remaining 500-plus doses were then discarded.

Moderna Inc, maker of the vaccine, has assured the hospital that receiving an injection of any of the doses removed from refrigeration poses no safety issue, other than leaving the recipient unprotected from COVID infection, said Dr. Jeff Bahr, Aurora Health Care Medical Group president.

Speaking to an online press briefing on Thursday, Bahr said there was no evidence the pharmacist tampered with the vaccines in any way besides removing them from refrigeration, or that any other doses were disturbed.

Neither Aurora Health nor law enforcement offered any possible motive for the sabotage.

Those who received the ineffective doses have been notified and will need to be re-vaccinated. The episode means that immunization will be delayed for 570 people who should by now have received their first shot of the two-dose vaccine.

Grafton police said in a statement that the pharmacist "knew the spoiled vaccinations would be useless and that people who received the vaccinations would think they had been vaccinated against the virus when in fact they were not." ...

When initially questioned after the misplaced vials were discovered on December 26, the pharmacist said it was an inadvertent error, but during further review of the matter admitted on Wednesday to intentionally removing the vaccine from refrigeration, hospital officials said.

The individual, a resident of Grafton in the Milwaukee suburbs, was arrested on Thursday and booked into the Ozaukee County jail on felony charges of recklessly endangering safety, adulterating a prescription drug and criminal damage to property, police said."
 
One of our locals told me yesterday that his entire family (parents and two sisters) have COVID. They live on a farm in the Karoo with the nearest town being about an hour away. Obviously someone must have contracted the virus when they went shopping, or from one of the farm workers. The sisters are doing OK, but not the parents. If they deteriorate they will have to be hospitalised. Fortunately for him he hasn't been with his family for 3 months.

However, his girlfriend, who lives in Durbanville, has also contracted the virus and she is in quarantine. The last time that he saw his girlfriend was 3 weeks. He has since been tested and fortunately he's negative.
 
Spoilt rich kids on daddy's boat ruin it for all' as Knysna lagoon closes
https://www.news24.com/news24/south...n-it-for-all-as-knysna-lagoon-closes-20201231
31 Dec. 2020

Expensive recreational boats parked at a popular spot on the Knysna Estuary called Under Milkwood, were tied together for what resembled a party, with no social distancing being observed and no masks.

This has led to the Esuary being closed as of 31 December for all water activities, including boating, swimming, skiing, tubing, fishing from vessels, kayaking, canoeing, kite surfing etc.

What this means is that scores of people who came for their annual holiday in Knysna, towed their boats and paid their licences, are now left high and dry - and furious..

Only commercial operations will be allowed provided they comply with spatial distancing and wearing of masks.

[I'm unable to copy the video link, but here's a screenshot. &%&*# idiots! I wish that every single one of them would be slapped with a hefty fine, but it appears that the police were not called. This came to light only when the video was posted on social media]

Sorry man that looks bad, but you can't really blame them for trying to comply with the curfew.

It's all his fault.
