Covid19 Lockdown South Africa 2020

Our Covid message (April 2020)

First and most of all, I want you, my friends and customers to still be with us when this is all over,

so let's bite the bullet and take this time to prepare our armor of PPE, common sense knowledge, social distancing and hygiene.

Let this lockdown be our first defense, the fortification we run to now that the Covid enemy threatens so many.

Be sure further defenses of prophylactics and vaccines will soon be to hand.

We know great minds are racing toward these goals, and toward a cure to blast the virus, right now!

To our leaders, here and worldwide, who are diverting huge resources and making fortunes available to help and protect us common people in this fight:

To our health workers and first responders, to all those dedicating their lives and time to help mankind:

We thank and salute you!

Local Recovery period from Covid deemed to be 14 days

************************

A number of my family and friends here did contract and (thankfully) recover from Covid.

T, one of my granddaughters was quite ill for a few days. She was sharing accommodation with her sister who did not get Covid. However both had to isolate for two weeks. After that T was told to go back to work, since she no longer had symptoms.

In level 2 lockdown we are allowed to have our hair cut. Now after so many months with no barbers allowed to cut hair, my hair grew quite long, so I went to my barber. In the meantime, may barber also had had, and had recovered from Covid. Actually I only visited him once I knew that tidbit of information, trusting that that somehow would be protection from him passing on Covid to me (he, my barber, being in the Covid firing line so to speak).

I have been checking the World-O-Meter stats every day, longing for the infection and recovery rates to improve, however stats fluctuate so widely, they must be called into question. Nevertheless I'll share what I see with you:

(World-O-Meter recovery rate = active cases/newly recovered)

Recovery period from Covid in the USA 70 days,

The USA has one of the slowest covid recovery rates in the world according to World-O-Meter stats 18th Sept 2020 Or is it just admin chaos? For example the Grand Princess Ship still shows 100 people statically and chronically unrecovered since March this year!

Who is responsible for reporting on the recovery of people on this ship? World-O-Meter, California disease control? These meaningless stats simply create a false narrative. Some of the USA examples of nonsense stats showing some unfortunates who were unable to recover from Covid for 5 months or more, between March and Sept 2020 - click to expand
