All those deaths per day?

Hell they make corona look like a pipsqueak with 481 deaths after 8.5 weeks.

Cobid19 daily averages
Dec 31 to May 15 --- 2205
Mar 11 to May 15 --- 4517 (Covid19 declared a pandemic on March 11)
Apr 15-19 --- 7504 (Peak week of deaths)

Will be interesting to see in a couple of months/years how many actually died from the virus. If that will ever be told

Tea sales have increased considerably.

People have been "excercising" between 6 and 9 daily since 1 May. But they were actually only looking for stompies.

For sure.
I got a big pack of tea in my food parcel and I thought HELL, I will never be able to use this all. Boy, was I wrong. Tea and coffee. And I baked a helluva lot too. At my Spar you cannot find icing sugar, small cocoa, choc muffin mix. Seems like people are eatimg cake, not bread.
Smoking tea leaves doesn't appeal to me at all.

LMFAO...
I have recycled each and every stompie from my garden.

Watching NDZ now explaining level 3. So I can fly to KZN, hire a car and stay in a hotel if its for business purposes. But I cannot drive because inter-provincial travel is still banned???

Smokers should start a petition which demands that lifestyle audits be conducted on all members of the NCCC, starting with Madam Zuma.

There are so many other contagious diseases that people are dying from on a much larger scale, not to mention the (give or take) 60 murders that take place in this country on a daily basis. Yet you used to leave your house and go out with that very real danger staring you in the face. I'm not being funny, I just don't get why people are still panicking when it's so obvious that the government is riding this 'pandemic wave' for their own gain. Just look at our lovely 'Health Minister' for a prime example.

IF it was not such a mission to get to PTA in this whole lockdown state, Sabrina I would be visiting you right now... I love the way you think...

Thank you, so do I! Ha ha ha! I don't get why people are believing everything the government is saying, did I miss something? Have they been absolved of their previous lies upon lies upon lies?

You....I like it! :)
I also don't get why everyone is suddenly just blindly following a government that is obviously only there to serve their own interests...very strange.

What about the people who DO have those underlying conditions?

People should stop thinking just of themselves. Just because you are fit and strong and you don't think this virus can kill you, doesn't mean you can be careless. Those who are careless spread the virus to those that may die of it.

I myself have a family member that has emphysema. If she gets this virus, or one of many others, she will die..

I sympathize. But I don't think it is fair of you to expect me to not have a life because you cannot? You should keep indoors and stay away from danger. I know we live in a nanny state, but don't expect me to do stuff for you that you can do better for yourself.

Just remember you will also get old one day. Then you would want people to be considerate of your situation. Do onto others what you want done unto you.

It is a very selfish attitude to not take our elders into consideration.

It is incredibly selfish to expect people to loose their jobs, fall into poverty and die early because of trying to protect others.
Please google PANDA and COVID. Some 29 times more people will loose living years than life years lost due to COVID! Incredibly selfish to expect the young to offer their lives to protect the old!
If I am vulnerable, I will have no problem staying home and protect myself. I am not going to expect that the rest of the world must protect me!

Are you saying you have been living as normal? No mask, go to work, visit people, cross borders etc? Not really like we have a choice to follow the current laws, whether you agree or not.
