SA has exported 150-million litres of hand sanitiser to other African countries, and “millions” of face masks.

Speaking on Friday at an economic cluster briefing regarding level 3 restrictions, Patel said

“We’ve already started supplying and exporting PPEs to neighbours and the rest of the continent. Due to the local shortage of PPEs, many countries look to South Africa to assist in making kits available to fight the virus. It’s important that we do so because, as neighbours, it’s only when we can ensure the infection doesn’t spread across the region that South Africans are safe,” he said.“In the long run, there are also economic opportunities.

Confirmed Covid-19 cases in SA spike to 25,937The recoveries to date are 13,451, which translates to a recovery rate of 52%. Ho hum, wake me when this exceeds last year's seasonal flu stats Mkhize, do you really want to put your face next to those numbers? Why did you let those psycho Aholes intimidate you? We need level 4 in hotspots. After finding out that scientists are not consulted in decision making processes.... I can't find it in me to even read or listen to anything Mkize says. In my opinion, it's uninformed statements which I prefer to ignore. A little knowledge is more dangerous than no knowledge.

Winter, Covid-19, HIV and TB could be deadly cocktail for SA, scientists warnEight scientists, including SA Medical Research Council head Prof Glenda Gray, have sent a chilling warning about the toll Covid-19 could take as winter sets in. Just open up the Western Cape and stop too much English. We are waiting Stupid SA scientists. The overrated Glenda Gray criticized the 'hard lockdown', she now wants to blame winter for the chaos the lifting up is going to bring because of their clueless expert opinion. It's 'garlic and beetroot' level of stupidity now. The COVID19 pandemic needs logic and common sense not these idiots. The big question is, where is the cure ? They are useless book-smart fools with no common sense without a COVID19 cure.
