Omicron | We knew this was coming – Ramaphosa

Over the past week, the number of daily infections has increased five-fold. Nearly a quarter of all Covid-19 tests are positive, compared to two weeks ago, when the proportion of positive tests was sitting at around 2%.

“Disease modellers in our country have told us that we would likely experience a fourth wave around this time and that it was almost inevitable that new variants of the virus would emerge,” said Ramaphosa. The president stressed that scientific evidence showed that vaccination was the most effective means of preventing the spread of new infections, and that vaccines reduce severe illness, hospitalisation and death.As every day passes, and as infections rise, the reasons to get vaccinated become more compelling and the need becomes ever more urgent.

He said evidence shows that gatherings – mainly those held indoors – carry the greatest risk of transmission. The president announced that he will be convening a meeting of the national coronavirus command council to review the state of the pandemic.The Vooma Week is meant to build on the success of the previous two Vooma Weekends in October and November, which resulted in a combined total of just under 650 000 vaccinations.“Before you go home, before you leave on vacation, make sure you protect yourself and those you love.

Well cooked chicken and sandals were based on science too!! Wo to believe🤷‍♀️

Covid has really destroyed logic and science. I'm not going to vaccinate

He means the gatherings amongst the vaccinated

Really and what we're you doing having rallies and social gatherings, so civid don't apply to the S.A. politicians and the law as well.

Then what's the use of vaccination if despite having vaccinated we can't congregate? The antivaxx are being justified
