were presented to the country on Thursday last week in a Zoom call hosted by the department of health.
According to the Modelling Consortium, the long-term projections show the spike in mid-August. This is being optimistic: “Lockdown has flattened the curve and pushed the peak later.” The Actuarial Society of South Africa estimated that even with the lockdown there may still be about 50 000 deaths. That translates into about 500 deaths a day at the peak of the pandemic. , which in April was seeing more than 560 deaths a day. At that time about 30 000 people had tested positive for the coronavirus in that country.
This may or may not be the picture for South Africa, but at our peak, we will not be far off. On Sunday,made it clear once again that the lockdown would only delay the spread of the virus and would not be able to stop it. The hospitals can handle the number of patients, but by August there will be a shortage of intensive care beds, according to rough estimates by Deloitte for Business for South Africa.
We would like to know how many people are dying concurrently of other diseases ie flu.?
Why is the Westerm Cape so stubborn ?
These projections are embarrassing. They’re turning out to be a load of rubbish. The fear mongering publishing of this tripe even more so.
Survival of the fittest
For the dumbasses that compare murders to covid19...... SouthAfrica has 58 murders a day. Imagine 300 a day alone dying from coronavirus. StayAtHome if you can, maintain social distancing and practice extreme hygiene, please people.❤
Those are your numbers mine is 35 death a day
And 350 die each day from Aids.
I would have said no way, but since CyrilRamaphosa has announced the reopening of churches, most likely I’ll say
🤔 hmmmm Data analysis!?
Still half what die from TB per day in SA!
CyrilRamaphosa is playing with fire.
Even if someone dies from a mere headache it’s being treated as a Covid19 death.....shame on WHO
which sangoma did you use projections ?
