There are so many speculations around Covid 19 and we don't know what to believe anymore .some of those speculations make us not want to get vaccinated

A year ago the corrupt Mhkize told us there would be 5 million cases and 500000 deaths within 6 months How wrong he was. So who pays attention to these figures? Remember its winter. More people get cold and illnesses now. So stop creating fear and let's get on living

This is very very scary we need another family meeting the sooner the better, Mr President Ramaphosa. Hard restrictions but dont close the economy. Place a sign on the borders 👇 No Jobs in South Africa enter at your own risk..covid kills stay home.

Does anyone take note of guesstimates? Surely only the deaths are more or less relevant?
