Day 24 :Monday morning ummm what should I wear today my speedo or my suite when I take out the bin decisions , decisions:)

They told me that a mask and gloves should be sufficient.
They lied. Apparently I was meant to wear clothing as well
 
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?

If Eskom is already stating that loadshedding will resume at the end of May when lockdown is lifted, maybe they know something we don't?
 
I forgot about these two pics, which I took shortly before lockdown was instituted.

Spar has a coffee shop called The Bean Tree. They moved all the tables and chairs to one side and replaced them with mostly toilet paper. What on earth was the big deal about toilet paper?? I remember everyone stocking up but I could never fathom why.

It was a trend that started off in Australia. They had most of their TP supply coming in directly from China and it was some big % of the country's supply as well. People there started stocking up thinking the supply would stop due to China been closed off and this trend spread throughout most economies and countries,
Some also say that the TP was needed after stockpiling on the baked beans!o_O
 
24 Employees at Boksburg Dis-Chem branch test positive
https://www.all4women.co.za/2000597...rg-dis-chem-branch-test-positive-for-covid-19
20 April 2020

"A total of 24 staff members at the Dis-Chem branch at Retail Park in Boksburg have tested positive for Covid-19 as of close of business on Friday, the pharmacy group has confirmed
“All of these are symptom free,” said Dis-Chem national clinic manager Lizeth Kruger following the testing of 132 employees.

According to Kruger, the first positive diagnosis was made on Thursday 9 April, thereafter health department protocol, which requires all close contacts be put in isolation and screened, was followed.

“The store was professionally cleaned. In addition, it took the precaution of testing the entire staff complement and any with symptoms were self-isolated immediately.

“Three additional staff members, who were both asymptomatic, then tested positive and were immediately quarantined in line with Department of Health protocol.”

All were tested again on Thursday, and an additional 20 asymptomatic staff tested positive, which Kruger said “highlights the aggressive virulence of this virus”.

The expedited results were available to the company within less than 24 hours after

The repeat test was not a departmental requirement, but a step taken by the company as an additional precaution, she said.

“As an essential service provider to a large percentage of the Boksburg community, the store was reopened… on Friday with a totally new staff complement after further professional cleaning,” Kruger said.

According to her, the branch remained open as it provided an essential service to those who relied on it to obtain medicine.

“The entire staff complement has been placed into self-isolation and the store has been re-staffed with employees from other Dis-Chem shops. The store has been extensively deep cleaned.”

From someone who used to import them. He no longer does so and I bought his remaining stock. Those juices are unfortunately not manufactured anymore either which is a HUGE pity!!! I have one bottle of Ferero left and I'll be sooo sad when it's finished, because it's just like the real thing!!!
 
Day 24 : Update. Ummm realised I don't own a speedo ( Note for myself after lockdown get speedo)

When I took out the bin this morning I went for the boring suite look. But this evening I went with the "Superman" or should I say the "Drunk Mr Kent" look, suite with a red underpants on the outside look ( thank you @Christos ) to get the empty bin. The sad part is I don't think anyone saw me. ( If you guys see a guy on the news with a suite and red underpants on the outside and bin it might be me)

Next week I shall go with the outfit that my friend @Resistance suggested.

Stay safe vape family.

As I said in a previous post, FB is essential in keeping up with what is happening in the community.

My translation:
Good evening everyone ... about 30 sheep are walking around on the West Coast Farm Stall's property. Does anyone perhaps know who they belong to?
 
Today being the wifeys birthday, we felt like some seafood, so we got the braai going and put together a fishmonger prawn dinner
