At this stage I really don't understand how Eskom is still around. This country's corruption knows no bounds.

So basically, after the lockdown we all go here:

Teaching SWAMBO how to use power tools, she made a trestle style console table for her office.
Just some reclaimed pine and shutter ply for the top.

Role reversal :
SWAMBO builds wooden furniture
- ARYANTO bakes cookies [what else ?] -Peanut butter cookies.

 

[ARYANTO]

Here we have peanut butter , syrup cookies and... cheese dimples with apricot jam. My Fav. Nuff done for the day .

Do you think they will stop sleeping in my bed if I build this?

Was that a rhetorical or actual question?

There was no question - only a statement.

Went to bed at 11 and only regained consciousness now - no trips to fridge, tap or toilet - must be the G+T's [3] last night . The ''Grove'' is quiet , but I need to get going .Meatworld is having a special on pork and I need some at, R35.00 a kilo it's a steal ,chops, roast etc . Intend to get ingredients for homemade brawn , haven't had some since Mom passed , will keep ya'all posted , BTW- good morning

Glad to hear you had a good night's sleep @ARYANTO! Clearly G & Ts have a better effect on you than CBD!

This makes no sense because if I'm facing the stairs going up, I walk on my right and the other person facing down walks on their left, we will clash because my left is their right and their right is my left, they should just say that everyone using the stairs please stay on the left, going up or down, this way no run ins and also will be second nature since we drive in the left hand side of the road

When you're right, you're very right.
As you say, keep left is instinctive for South Africans.

Perhaps they've been having a problem in Yzerfontein with residents leaping the railings from the 3rd floor, placing an unnecessary burden on health care facilities

Wow that’s great @Dela Rey Steyn !
Would be so cool to build a custom vaping station but me and power tools are not yet friends...

I can’t remember where or when I read something to the effect that if we have more than an average of 90 new cases in this week or next , then lockdown may be extended.

Was I reading correct? If so , it seems we are tracking above that which could mean less chance of stopping lockdown?

That's correct. Prof Karim explained it on Monday.

But he also explained that it was for passive cases. Now the difference between active and passive cases makes no sense to me and by the sound of things neither to the health ministry. What it basically means is active cases cases is the when they go out to find cases with the screenings. Passive is when somebody go to a doctor or hospital with symptoms. Its mainly to collerate with the earlier results when strictly symptomatic patients were tested. And by that model we are well below.

Its still only one of the scenarios being used so there will still be lots to concider before the lockdown is lifted. I think it will still be in place but a couple restrictions will be lifted.
