OK, I am now jabbed, but totally overwhelmed. I never realised there was so many over 60's and that they were so violent, they will literally push you out of that chair. They also practice social distancing by farting if you get too close. They also secretly train in walking stick Kung Fu, my shins are a mess.

China's Sinovac vaccine gets WHO emergency approval
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-57322504
2 June 2021

"The World Health Organization (WHO) has approved China's Sinovac Covid vaccine for emergency use.

The WHO said it prevented symptomatic disease in 51% of those vaccinated and prevented severe symptoms and hospitalisation in 100% of samples.

Some evidence and data gaps are still lacking though, according to WHO experts.

It is the second Chinese vaccine to receive the green light from the WHO, after Sinopharm.

The approval opens the door for the jab to be used in the Covax programme, which aims to ensure fair access to vaccines.

The vaccine, which has already been used in several countries, has been recommended for over 18s, with a second dose two to four weeks later.

The emergency approval means the vaccine "meets international standards for safety, efficacy and manufacturing", the WHO said.

A study in a Brazilian city saw a 95% drop in Covid deaths after it vaccinated almost all of its adults with Sinovac.

Serrana, in the Southeastern Brazilian state of Sao Paulo, is home to 45,000 residents. Once 75% of its population was vaccinated, the number of cases and hospitalisations fell, according to the study..."

Oxygen suppliers are ready for third wave
https://www.capetownetc.com/news/oxygen-suppliers-are-ready-for-third-wave
2 June 2021

"A member of the COVID-19 ministerial advisory committee, Professor Ian Sanne, expressed confidence in the adequacy of oxygen production by saying: “SA has an oxygen production capacity approximately eight times the rate at which oxygen is used in winter months without Covid-19. This amount will be sufficient to support hospitals that may face a rapid increase in patients in the third wave.”

The head of the Western Cape Health Department, Dr. Keith Cloete, echoed the readiness of the healthcare system when he expressed that: “We have a whole lot of trigger systems in place. We have sufficient capacity. We’ve got the timing. We know exactly when to trigger, how to bring deaths online, how to prepare for the oxygen, how quick to prepare for cases as they increase so the province is ready to respond..."

DO WE NEED TO WORRY ? IS China secretly trying to eliminate humanity ...
A 41-year-old man in China has been confirmed as the first human case of the H10N3 strain of bird flu.

The man, a resident of the city of Zhenjiang, was hospitalised on April 28 and diagnosed with bird flu on May 28. He is now stable and ready to be discharged.

The risk of large-scale spread is low, according to the government. No other cases of human infection have been found among his close contacts, or reported globally, the National Health Commission (NHC) said.

“This infection is an accidental cross-species transmission. The risk of large-scale transmission is low,” it said in a statement.

Seychelles does an abrupt U-turn – bans South African travellers one day after reopening
https://www.businessinsider.co.za/can-south-africans-travel-to-the-seychelles-2021-5
3 June 2021

• South African travellers were due to be welcomed back to the Seychelles on Tuesday, after being banned from the islands for most of the year.
• But on the same day that the Seychelles “reopened” to tourists, it issued an updated travel advisory which banned South Africans from 2 June onwards.
• This swift reversal has led Air Seychelles, which had already taken bookings for flights from Johannesburg’s OR Tambo in the first week of June, to cancel its return to South Africa.
• South African ticket holders can exchange their cancelled flights for travel at a future date, request a refund or request to be transferred to the Maldives, instead.

I found out today why Yzer is going to have a vaccination site. Apparently the ACVV (Algemene Christelike Vroue Vereniging) sent a questionnaire to its members, asking who was interested - and received a huge response. They then passed that information to the government and offered to host the site at the ACVV Centre. The government would not allow that, but agreed to set up a site in the Community Hall.

Just shows what the power of the people can do!
