Ah, the good old SA pastime of blaming the ref when not understanding the game, and for our own poor strategy . rushed off to the international press in breathless, emotional language about how dangerous the new variantWatch our scientists feeding the media frenzy on CNN and elsewhere.

Other tourism countries followed quickly , thanking their lucky stars that they haven’t got such eager-beaver press-loving scientists in their neighbourhoods. It was all entirely predictable — as is the damage to business and jobs in the one country in the world that can least afford it. We now have a handful of happy scientists basking in the hype, and 10,000 more people without jobs.

Clever players would use quiet channels to the WHO and allow for orderly dissemination of information by peers. And not play stupid local ministers looking for glory .

Nope. Colonist tendencies are the real issue.

😂🤣🤣😂

😂😂😂😂

Don’t blame the scientists that are doing their job, blame the masses that think they are too clever to get vaccinated.

So we should have hid all this?
