COVID-19: World's condom producer stops production 21DayLockdown COVID-19

Malaysia's Karex Bhd makes one in every five condoms globally. It has not produced a single condom from its three Malaysian factories for more than a week due to a lockdown imposed by the government to halt the spread of the virus.

The company was given permission to restart production on Friday, but with only 50% of its workforce, under a special exemption for critical industries. "We are going to see a global shortage of condoms everywhere, which is going to be scary,” he said."My concern is that for a lot of humanitarian programmes deep down in Africa, the shortage will not just be two weeks or a month. That shortage can run into months."Malaysia is Southeast Asia's worst affected country, with 2,161 coronavirus infections and 26 deaths. The lockdown is due to remain in place at least until April 14.

Makers of other critical items like medical gloves have also faced hiccups in their operations in Malaysia.

Comdom factories should be an essential service. Don’t forget about the high HIV in RSA

Baby boom after lockdown 😱

Bathong so we gonna make babes all the way

It'll be tough... corrona brought new things... we can just say the devil is incontrol...!!!

Come 2021 will be having babies with such names. Covid Thomas , Ashton Sanitizer, Quarantine Michael, Lockdown James.

Its Apocalypse so what's the use.

Well, glad to see orphaning won't be solved by this epidemic

Another threat

My God

This is the End, lot of transmitted diseases, population will rise so fast.

It gets scarier everyday.

Dear lord

Skoon loading...

😂 Shit is real

Let's just do flash by flash klaar🤷‍♂️

Millennials will create the New Boomer Generation

so HIV prevention is not essential enough?

Why stopped producing

Raw sex to be implemented 😋😋 Thank you corona ☝😂😋😋 yes wena Rona

Makes sense, folks are indoor with their parents, only married people are fucking...

Hheyakeh bayenza njani ke lonto, szomitha phela

they stopped because they not essential or what? 🤔

MphoMramakatsa This will lead to another pandemic

I am sensing an increase in the world population and more babies with this quarantine no one is pulling out💭

Names like Corona Dickson are coming to play now

Probably going to manufacture nappies. Now that is forward thinking !

The number of people Covid-19 have claimed n will, make sense

Surely if dont trust shaking your hand why would I want to be in your genitalia..?

R. A. W.

Why

are they now gonna manufacture masks?

Kwadula

WhoIsBoka The rona....

Kuzoba munandi..

Thanks God they took a brave decision as many people lost their lives we have to produce more people to replace those who passed away 😭😭😭

भनेसी अबो बजार मा मास्क सगै condom नि shortage हुने पर्यो

Yeah neh 🙆

Basically bathi:

Now they really want us to have babies on babies and hiv/aids on top of stds's and the bonus ke corona...all in 1 body!!

Corona babies on the way.... 🤣 🤣

Who took such a huge decision?

Marie stopes nurses...

Oh no. Not more kids in this World

BABY Boom

Inyama enyameni one time ayikho enye vele manje.

Now man will continues to produce....🤔

From Aids to corona then back to Aids and over population,we can never have a rest on this planet,I'm off to Mars

Welcome kids😂😂😂

Why?

Aowa

I saw a image of a guy stockpiling condoms in the USA long before this hit the news, now they stockpiling Guns what do they know that we don't? I foresee long queues for condoms like alcohol and food. 😏

So that we can inrease the population.😐

Ahhhhh boNyyeeeee ke bao 🤰🤱

I thought this was hearsay is it real

It should be stopped in highly hit nation's to restore population....not everywhere

I won't stop, I'll rather use plastic ya borotho than to stop.

Nama nameni once!

Idea: Baby Boomers, Millenniums and now Coronians

chatlas Kwashuba😉😉

SizoHaver kanjani?😩

thats not a problem kuma2000 ..abazisebenzisi vele

I knew that this corona thing will affect our sexual lives.

Mhhh....Mathata fela

I hope they made the right choice. Because at one side, ppl are thinking that all these deaths will see a rebound by next year with tremendous birth rate. Why? -We are at home and 'lonely'. Second, if no condoms mean more HIVs, we are already dead meat.😳 (For real!)

Wooow i smell more babies in Dec/Jan lol they even stop production and winter is knocking 🤒

Condom Factories should be declared essential services world wide. Need I explain what is going to happen in December 2020. This is no joke!! covid19 COVID19 covid19SA coronavirussouthafrica

So now we gonna have another virus spreaded , couried, transmitted, Another call for Sexual distancing 🙄

But why?

I forsee plenty of Corona babies.

Good move, cz we need to plant more babies to replace those who are gone with covid19

But why💁‍♂️

Reason?

What? Mmmmmhhhh! southafricansaganstcoronavirus🇿🇦 africansagainstvovid19 southafricansagainstcovid19

The Spanish flu - the deadliest flu in world history, not Covid-19The Spanish flu pandemic, caused by the H1N1 influenza virus, is recognised as the most severe in human history. It killed more people in a year than those who were killed in four years of World War I. How do you come to that conclusion when this one is busy killing people, shouldn't you wait till this is over So why do we find it completely wrong to call Covid-19 Chinese flu whereas we've named a flue after certain type of people? Double standards

Only one Covid-19 death in SA, says Zweli MkhizeA total of 55 people are in hospital (both private and public); four people are in ICU; three are on ventilators; and there have been 31 recoveries Why is the death rate in SA so low? On global trends, we should statistically have between 22 to 33 deaths. Are we doing something right in terms of first line treatment or just lucky? Or is our strain of virus less deadly?
