We’ve become aware of a WhatsApp voice note alleging that Old Brown Sherry offers medicinal benefits. This is simply not true. Old Brown Sherry is not a cure for COVID-19. Refer to official sources of info on COVID-19 – https://sacoronavirus.co.za

Thanks for that @ARYANTO
However we should not dismiss the obvious benefits of Old Brown Sherry. Just as the trusted fire warms you up from the outside, so does the sherry from the inside.
Also
"The study showed that rats that got the sherry experienced a decrease in cholesterol levels and an increase in good cholesterol, but no changes in cholesterol profiles were seen in those who got water or alcohol.
The study appears in the current issue of the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture."
So to repeat the message OBS is no bloody good for COVID 19

AHA! That may be why some people that imbibe too much of the good stuff end up sleeping outside in the cold...
They are just simply too warm inside!
With enough OBS in your system, sleeping under the stars might just be one of the more conservative things you do at night... the rest you wont even remember...
One of the benefits of alcohol is that when you are berated for a misspent youth in later years, you thankfully realize that you honestly do not remember a heck of a lot of it
Ok. Heading over to that aplogy thread now... Nah.
Why are Brits so concerned whether they will be able to holiday abroad this year!?!? I am not particularly well travelled but i have been to a few countries and none compare to beauty of Blighty!!!!!!!!!

The Cornish might take umbrage at being regarded as English, but you’re so right. Even in the flat bits of the UK the towns make up for the shortage of scenery. I suppose it would be a bit obvious if I said I prefer Scotland’s ruggedness to the manicured south...
People believe that stuff you rub on a cow's ass can cure Covid.
At least the 10 days isolation will be much better with some OBS. Just don't take it with antibiotics. Don't ask.

I used the terms Brits and Blighty which is an informal term for England or "Great Britain"! When i say the Beauty of Blighty i am referring to Britain! Bloody Scots!
I agree and all the research into Cancer cures are charity funded and not by Governments! I suppose the argument will be it's not just your life but you can infect others with Covid while cancer isn't contagious even though some ignorant people act as if it is!

- More than 1.5 million South Africans – 2.55% of the entire population – had received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine by Tuesday 8 June.
- Almost a third of these were Johnson & Johnson jabs administered to healthcare workers during the Sisonke Project.
- The Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal are the only provinces exceeding the national average.
- Mpumalanga continues to record the slowest pace, with just 1.24% of the population having received at least one dose.
Your employer can't fire you for refusing to have Covid-19 jab, but you must have good reason

- Mandatory vaccine policies may be implemented as vaccines become widely available, but workers can't be dismissed for refusing to take the jab.
- But, you'll have to present a valid reason why you should be excluded from your company's vaccine drive.
- There are three main reasons employees can ask not to be vaccinated: religious, medical, and cultural beliefs.
- Employers can accommodate workers who reject the jab by finding alternative roles that don't pose Covid risks.
SA waits for Johnson & Johnson vaccine decision

"WASHINGTON - There's been no indication of when the US Food and Drug Authority will approve the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
This as concerns continue about the delay in giving it the green light.
Health experts and governments are worried about the shelf life of their existing stock.
Should the FDA approve the vaccine, South Africa will be able to release a million more doses stuck in Gqeberha, in the Eastern Cape."

- South Africa, along with almost 200 other countries, was placed at the highest risk level within the US State Department's travel advisory system back in April.
- On Tuesday, South Africa's risk level was lowered, with US still urging its citizens to "reconsider travel".
- This doesn't change the current travel ban imposed on South Africa.
- But, coupled with a new direct flight from New York to Johannesburg, could see an influx of US tourists.
