• I hate to be that guy but the jury is very much out on that.l despite the articles.

    Admission rate still rising really quickly in Gauteng, deaths doubled last week and more worryingly, excess deaths doubled in SA as a whole last week.

    Add to that the fact there were reporting problems over the weekend and concerns about access to free testing, the picture is very muddled there.

    Edit: just to add, the times ran an article like that yesterday before finding out that the drop in cases was due to a reporting lag issue. Others made the same mistake. I wonder if the Telegraph did the same?

  • The Telegraph has our best interests at heart, don't you worry.

    Given the average reader is probably over 95 you'd think they exercise a bit of caution but I guess not

  • Quite possible re the lag.. the SA doctor was back on the C4 news tonight with the same mild message albeit at a community level. It will be Christmas before the SA data really tells any sort of story.
