Are we not now just reporting figures that would have been considered "normal" in the pre Zoll empowerment era?
Just checking?
Regards
I don’t get what you mean by “normal”?. Just a reminder we are still in the middle of the pandemic and the 5th wave is expected towards May.

Heart-disease risk soars after COVID — even with a mild case
"Even a mild case of COVID-19 can increase a person’s risk of cardiovascular problems for at least a year after diagnosis, a new study1 shows. Researchers found that rates of many conditions, such as heart failure and stroke, were substantially higher in people who had recovered from COVID-19 than in similar people who hadn’t had the disease.
What’s more, the risk was elevated even for those who were under 65 years of age and lacked risk factors, such as obesity or diabetes."

It is undoubtedly true that there is an increase in the risk of Cardiovascular accidents but man the figures they are throwing at us in this article are unbelievably high!!! Im actually shocked that Mature published this study with all the limitations (and they are major) mentioned by the researchers…

University of Free State to continue with vaccination mandate after winning court interdict
https://www.iol.co.za/news/south-af...nterdict-651b6074-f07c-4fdd-a0c9-7d008dc05ff0

"The University of the Free State (UFS) will enforce its mandatory Covid-19 jab policy after the high court in Bloemfontein on Friday struck off the roll an interdict application to stop the process.
The failed interdict application was brought by Free State for Choice (FS4C). The court said the FS4C had failed to prove that the matter was “urgent”...
The university, which has more than 33 000 students, said it was going ahead with its jab policy for those wanting to access the institution’s premises..."
“As of February 14, 2022, staff, students, and visitors will either be required to be vaccinated, to upload a negative Covid-19 PCR test (not older than a week) on its campus access system if they are not vaccinated, or to have an approved deferral or an approved exemption, in order to access campus,” said the UFS.

I am 100% pro-vax but even the best students are only at the campus for about six hours per weekday. For the rest of the time, they are mixing with the general population. If students are anything like they were in my day they are in contact with far more people than the average adult.
If all the students lived in res and weren't allowed off campus it would be a different story. This would also have to apply to admin, lecturers and service staff.

- Qatar Airways dropped its Omicron ban on South Africans in January.
- But if you want to fly via Doha, you'll need to wear a face shield visor as well as a mask – if you are from South Africa, Mozambique, or Zambia.
- That is despite the fact that the government of Qatar has all three countries on its green list.
- The airline hasn't said why.
