Fears and thoughts in South Africa

Not calling him thick for endorsing Trump....he is an idiot for endorsing hydroxychloroquine....any one can read and have internet access to research that hydroxychloroquine is a crock of crap where Corona virus is concerned....wonder if he got paid to say what he did....I believe sales of golf equipment with other sports has taken a knock....:huh:

All he did was relay his experience and suddenly he gets slated by yourself as endorsing something...it worked for him...that's the some total I took from his story...

I responded to the part of the story that I have read about viz. over-servicing relating to the virus and profiteering by service providers...

There is no reason or logic to this virus...yes, as with all other viruses, take the precautions...but when you match up 19000 deaths (some / most ?? that would have passed away from some other cause in the past 10 months) against 3+ million livelihoods lost and the higher taxes to follow next February, I know which side I stand on...

There are famous brands in footwear, clothing etc that are now made in China. Chances are your Reebok, Nike, Levis, even Big Bear are made in China. The factories are given the specs to produce the merchandise by the licensee.
The important factor here is the country of origin.
The virus may have been made in China, but was it commissioned by the Chinese Govt?[/quote]

No Nike, Levis, Reebok, etc, etc...been watching labels for a long time npw and made a conscience decision to steer clear of "Made in China"...if done beyond the label, then the company must live with their deception...

:lol: :lol: :lol: research on the internet. Oh my ... Are you flippin serious? I give up.

You guys can support a party that supports fear, and gets a thrill out of controlling your life. Just dont complain when our own NDZ does the same here!

In fact, you guys support the same policies as the ANC locally. Just so you know

.....oh well if he believes it was the hydroxychloroquine that worked for him so be it.....but sportsmen and other celebrities should stick to endorsing equipment, peanut butter, chocolates coffee and the like.....and not fucking medication that has not been proven yet....as the FDA recently cautions against use of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for COVID-19 outside of the hospital setting or a clinical trial due to risk of heart rhythm problems

Does not affect FDA-approved uses for malaria, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis

:lol: :lol: :lol: research on the internet. Oh my ... Are you flippin serious? I give up.

.....and where do you get all the sh!t you copy and paste all over this site....not from the local library I guess....:dry:

ANC (Democrats South African sister) had people under their thumb and closed those well resourced libraries for 7+ months...:whistle:

Too many willing to outsource their thinking to people who only seek to advance their interests and that of those closest to them and not the majority they claim to represent...

In fact, I miss the days when you had to read books, and visit libraries to acquire knowledge. Although the internet makes it or so easy to access information, the flip side is that now any twat with a smart device can access information....and misrepresent browsing as research.

.....yes and those twats plugging alternative unproven medication ought to do likewize instead of watching the greatest fool of our time go against the FDA and make product available to almost every pharmacy in his country......and then get his birdbrain followers to back him up by endorsing through social and mainstream media......I am not at all political.... but when I see and read sh!t like this....I cannot believe that people can be so f@cking obtuse.....

Ok, I apologies. I have heard of trump and Nicklaus, but I don't know you. For you to label both of these men fools, idiots etc, must mean that you are definitely someone worth knowing. After all, DJT's and Nicklaus's accomplishments are just (PS: i just browsed it...no research done):

C. Muthiman:

So I tried to do some research. There is a facebook page called, The Muthi Man. I'm sure that this can't be you, as this person is plugging alternative medication, which you vehemently oppose (PS: I know get the irony in your pseudonym...very very clever). Anyway, to cut a long story short, I couldn't find anything on the internet. Do I need to go to the library? Or, alternatively, please share your accomplishments/credentials, that allows you to call the above 2 gentlemen, fools.

Thanks in advance.

Good morning all, its approximately 217 days into Lockdown.😷

Another week has gone as we head towards a very strange festive season.

2020 must go down as the worst year that many of us have had to experience 😢

What can we say about the election in the States:

On the forum alone a staggering 7448 views and 476 comments/opinions some rather emotional but also informative.
The bottom line is that it looks like the States have a new president after a very volatile betting market.
Betfair has had its biggest betting market “ever” at this stage with GBP 510,000,000 ( yes well over 10 billion Rands) the same figure allocated for SAA 🤯 mind blowing.

My biggest fear today is that Cyril is going to make an announcement soon and I am worried sick he is going to react to the International community and tightening the Lockdown level. 👎
This will be another disaster for business that are slowly trying to get their act together.
Again IMO the virus has been a total over reaction world wide, we must get back to normal.
No objection to wearing a mask and social distance but allow people to make a living and live as normal a life as possible.

We have plenty racing to look forward to this weekend after some more insane results yesterday.
Zietsman will hopefully have more winners today in PE.
Some nice horses running at big T on Sat. Mill Queen, Pack Leader and a good clash between Summer Pudding and Lady of Steel on the cards.
Breeders Cup meeting Friday and Saturday night.
Gamine, Magical on Friday.
The big race on Saturday is very competitive with Improbable, Tiz The Law, Maximum Security and Authentic to fight it out.

Very sad that we lost one of my hero’s this week when Sean Connery passed away 🙏
In addition one of my other hero’s had his birthday.
Not sure what my favourite race was of Lester Piggott?
Roberto, Sir Ivor, Nijinsky, The Malster (SA).
Royal Academy’s win was special, considering after his comeback and he went to the States to show the Yanks his unique style of riding

Atleast the positive news for today is that our active cases has dropped to the lowest in a long time.Since we moved into level 1, we have maintained and now improved. There is absolutely no reason for any type of lockdown at this stage.
