Cape Town -
Professor of Vaccinology in the School of Pathology at the University of the Witwatersrand, Shabir Madhi, said the event “lends itself to superspreader events, which is what we are wanting to avoid to prevent community transmission from escalating. Heightened transmission will contribute to a sudden burst of severe cases, that could overwhelm health services – this is exactly what we are needing to guard against.
Madhi added, “at this stage, rave parties or any other activity that involves the congregation of a large number of individuals, and specifically if occurring at indoor venues, would be reckless to engage in. These activities are fertile ground for super-spreader events.” “Covid-19 has certainly limited the number of interested attendees, we are expecting about 60% to 70% of the usual turnout.”
So difficult to commit to a short term sacrifice for a long term bliss.
Opposed to what ... an eff racist demonstration
With current Western and Eastern Cape data this is such a bad idea. Even if things improve a bit this superspreader (no potential about it) event should not happen this year.
