How are we all doing?

From our experience:

More Power Cuts
No water for many
Covid deaths hectic
Borders looking bad

It was dustbin morning and the poor people with babies attached trying to survive via rubbish is heart breaking.

We bought extra bread and some odds and ends for this morning but the task and needs are impossible to comprehend.

Times like this when I realized what a man SHAHEEN SHAW must be.
Keep it up sunshine and hope you catch the pick 6

😷😢🙏

Power OFF yet again.
When we had cable theft the other day, I thought they would use some discretion and not stick to load shedding plan but no, as soon as we were reconnected, shortly after OFF.


Well at least the good news is that I cant watch the NEWS 😢

The SAMRC has resumed reporting on excess deaths after a holiday break, and the picture is awful. Excess deaths as at week ended 5th January now running at 11000 per week, which is way higher than the first wave. The split between under 60 and over 60 is 4000 and 7000. Excess deaths now 84000 since the start of the pandemic. The official reported COVID deaths in all provinces except WC bear no relation to reality. The likely cause is that poorer and more rural people are dying without getting diagnosed or tested. More people are thus now dying per week from COVID than all other causes combined, and this applies to both under 60s and over 60s.
The EC has been worst hit, but some signs they could be levelling off, and very big numbers in the other populous provinces of Gauteng, KZN and WC.
As deaths is a Lag indicator, even if the current level 3 is effective, the death rate will persist into February.
