How can South Africa convince some of its poorest people that a virus is more of a threat than the poverty they live in every day?

"There was a little bit of a story earlier that you can walk your dog, [but] there shall be no dogs that will be walked... if you really want to walk your dog [do it] around your house."

Last Friday, the authorities said 200 people had contracted the disease but that total now stands at well over 900. Statisticians from the University of Witwatersrand estimate that one million people could be infected within 40 days if a small number in one locality catch it.While that may seem incredible, there are millions of people in this country who reside and survive in impoverished townships and settlements with few taps, toilets or sewage services. Overcrowding is a basic fact of life.

You don't stop it in any country. Locking a population in their homes for 18 months isn't stopping it. I guess we have to feel thankful it's seeded all over the world - at least that rules out the 'nuke the infected country' option. Wouldn't put that past the psychos in charge
