ProfAbdoolKarim DrZweliMkhize DrButtar DrAnthonyF In South African scenario,Salim Abdool Karim,is just doing what he is being told by American Anthony Fauci.Can Dr Zweli Mkhize,Salim Abdool Karim,Dr Anthony Fauci,and Dr Rashid Batter have a look at the video,then respond
Can we get the reason why like we were given reasons why lockdown was extended, we were told by President we will go back to new normal in phases and scientific evidence will be considered to enable us to move from one stage to the lower one, so we r all ears 👂👂👂
Do you think Karim has Kids or Grandkids in School 🏫?
SA ,but not the Goverment.
But the idiots NDZ , Cele and Jessie say no because they have another agenda
The old age home of a parliament should close
The numbskulls disagree.
This old man is confused I guess
SouthAfricansP1 Be careful, Health Departement might call for investigation like Prof Glenda Gray
Thank you wise master
SouthAfricansP1 We not ready to accept anymore communist style draconian laws though.
I still remember his PowerPoint presentation
Make up your mind... What model are you using now or has the zol and saliva messed you up.
Doesn’t matter what you say Prof..... what say the Fat Lady?
My hopes are on him to get through to the others on some sensibility. Communism at play !
What are the levels for?
Let’s see if Govt really are listening to the experts
I don't trust this comitee
Karim is confused now🤔🤔
The people of South Africa don't realize the power they have, we are being lead by politicians who think they can just wake nd impose thier own rules on us
dlaminizumamustfall
Y’all just winging it hey but we move
Just delaying the inevitable.
But is the government ready for level 3? They appear to have lost the plot completely! Everyday sees new absurd regulations. People will rebel and no longer comply and the govt will be responsible for that!
ANC can't even make up their minds, how are they supposed to run our country when they are so messed up. ancMustGo
Great news. What is he saying about tobacco and alcohol because Gogo want to be an unqualified expect.
Eish renyako tswa
These ppl that r not on the ground just open their traps & talk whatever will sound nicely to their masters. . Western Cape is facing crisis that z irreversible and the schools r opening in a few days. Crazy! Call the MEC fo health Mbombo to account!
Who cares what he says. He will be remembered as the one with the fat lady who sunk the country DlaminiZuma GovernmentZA CyrilRamaphosa and Cyril as the puppet of that fat lady - who by the way should know that being fat is not healthy.
With no alcohol.... Mcxim
Yes, that's fine. Just give harsher punishment to those contravening alcohol and the smoking regulations. 👏👏👏👏🤝
Lame-stream mainstream media! INVESTIGATE ABDOOL ! And investigate the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation ! Plandemic Agenda21 Agenda2030 VaccineAgenda PopulationControl ID2020 NWO SouthAfrica endthelockdownSA endthelockdownnow
By the time we reach stage 1 booooof no one will be employed except the govermuntu. The lockdown was meant for preps to fight the unknown virus,not to cripple the country.r We gonna hide for this virus until when?Sad that poor, are gonna be the victims of all this bullshit
I agree, we cannot be on lockdown indefinitely. But easing the lockdown cannot be done while cases are rising up sharply, daily deaths increasing, ICU hospitalization going up and the number of people on ventilators is also increasing! This is not the time to go down to level 3.
Didn't he say the situation looks very bad few days ago 🤣this one aowa.
Akananyani lo tata
In the midst of escalating covid-19 cases and increasing deaths? Are we really ready to move down, while the curve is steep and not flattening? I do not think so. All indications are that we should go back to level 5, especially in the WC & EC. ShahanR

This is very dodgy. Too many 'ifs' in this narrative. Doesn't seem to be fact and scientific based.
Government
😂😂😂😂
Heeeif jikijki was a person
We really can’t be in lockdown forever, we were give enough to prepare our immune systems. And so may the best one win.
Why not level 1.
Western Cape is also ready to move to leavel 3? 🙄
South Africans is really for level 1 last time a checked.
SKamhunga Its a joke..
Whilst death rates have taken a steep kick up they are still very low in world terms.
Nothing that anyone says makes sense anymore. We will go to the next level when the cases decrease and the curve is flattened yet the cases rise and the curve goes upwards & now he says we are ready for level 3. What the heck? These people make no sense. confused
My be its better if we move to level 1 now😭😢
I'm still on level 5.. Move alone
Wait till Dicktator dlaminizuma gets hold of him.....🙄
LEVEL 1
Already in level 1
Fuck it, lets gerrit den!!!
Level 2 plz
Ai Last week they say this week some of the provinces will go to level 3 today is Friday
Even the Western Cape🤔🤔🤔?
This professor is on drugs. He told us in order to flatten the curve we must have less than 90 new infections a day but as from today we are experiencing over 700 new infections a day.
Based on what?
Will believe it when I see it
F him too!
He’s just nuts🚮🚮🚮
TeaLira12
I don't trust this guy 😓
He is probably bought to say that.........
Well it's done🙂
Me a bit stupid ..don't see any flattening of the curve at all ..so lockdown was a complete waste with 40000 estimated deaths from latest models and 1.2 M infections? Me thinks we should rather use mathematical modelling and not this fashion modelling which looks a bit too much.
Am parched 🙄
ProfAbdoolKarim You have not answered the question! Don't tell us it's easy to identify a COVID death, tell us how you have been identifying COVID deaths! Also tell us how, when sick patients who have NOT tested positive for COVID, are identified to have COVID. goss_spg
The same guy who said if we had an average of 90+ cases a day we couldn't move lockdown levels? Wow
Whether it's level 5 or level 1 this virus is not going anywhere..didn't make much difference as people did whatever they wanted to
We have to accept that this virus is going to be here for a long time. There's no cure. There's no vaccine. Life has to go on, but as individuals we have to take precautionary measures to ensure that we don't contract the virus.
TeaLira12 This Prof is a fool,
Oh okay so WHO is wrong to say we not ready 🤨🙁
I believe he wanted to say level 1
How the fuck are we ready
He spoke about average 89 cases per week then the lockdown can be lifted,but we average +-4000 cases per week and SA is ready for level 3?😂
Wow great, wonderful .awesome👏👏👏 all we need now is a date!!!Some areas are on level 10 and some have never experienced lock down...now...how about that date with destiny?
But wasn't he the 1 that said....expect 3mil cases of infections by year end...and 40k death🙄🤔....now its go time......people....dont listen to these fools....protect your selves and your families....the covid-19 I'd much more intelligent than these people
Just open the country once
The rest of SA can move to Level 3. However, WC must stay on level 4 with CityofCT metropolis reverting back to level 5. The Our_DA is busy to murder our people with Covid19SA in WesternCape. alanwinde is a dumb pink arse who have no clue what to do in WC
🍻asbonge
'WISDOM'
Well get on with it then
Prof Karim 🙌😂
Madness
Prof hakeo blame, last time o itse they shouldn't ease restrictions mare habao mamela. So bafe ntho eo bae batlang
Then do it now!
We're ready yes. Recording a thousand cases a day, we're absolutely ready.
Prof confuses me. I wonder if he is not selling his scientific soul to the highest bidder. Look how he fashions his views to fit the narrative promoted by the government. Looking out for yourself amigo and if it means throwing colleague under the bus, so be it. Pathetic.
What the slave contradicts WHO and the minister
Ready for Level 0 once
Yes!!!! Time to go back to work and earn a living again!!!
Vele we are ready for level 3
Tshoarelo_M
So while the infection rate goes up, we can open the economy? 🤔
Power of money final convinced this professor....
Then let's do it! I want to zol!
Stupid
Wtf.
He has been saying this for weeks.
How does the growing number of Coronavirus cases and deaths make one think we ready to ease restrictions?
it's too late ..virus coming winter close up church till August..the flu influenza you
What does he say about the lynching of Linda Gray

SA is moving to a level 3 lockdown — but will Western Cape also be moving?Will the Western Cape move to a level 3 lockdown or will it remain on level 4? Nope can't take that risk bona they just need to follow this coz they don't listen I heard that in level 3 there will be liquor and cigarettes sales so do you think capetonians will enjoy not sipping. This is a wishful thinking Let's face it no-one really knows... I don't think PresidencyZA even knows yet... It's all speculation, the Politburo will make a decision when they feel like it, and only then will we find out... Then everyone will bitch and moan, and they will be ignored, and so it goes on...
