We’re all going to die! – 3% death rate: South Africa hits a new record with 26 000 daily Covid-19 cases – My Comments

(005320.38-:E-003569.93:N-HO:R-SU:C-30:V)   

[I have heard of a few Whites dying. Among my friends and family I've heard of a small number actually dying. Maybe 2 or 3. What is interesting is that according to these statistics, South Africans, of all races, are dying at a rate of 3%. That surprises me. Of course these numbers could be overstated. So in theory, if this holds true, then by the time the entire population has actually had COVID then it could kill 1.5 million people? Well maybe. But there is also the issue of immunity, which is real, despite all the junk spoken about it, plus herd immunity can set in. I am so bored by this rubbish. 3 members of my family contracted it, but nobody is seriously ill. In fact, for some of them, it's mild. It appears to me, we will be in lockdown for YEARS. We might still be in a lockdown when most other nations have forgotten about COVID. At this rate the economy will be shattered. This could impact many things.  Jan]

As the third wave intensifies.

4 Jul 2021 12:42

South Africa hit a record of 26 000 fresh Covid-19 cases on Saturday, its second record-breaking tally in as many days, as a rampant third wave of infections coursed through a largely unvaccinated population.

The rampant rise in infections in Africa’s most industrialised nation has stretched health services to breaking point, with hospitals out of beds and medics to man them, and forced the government to impose partial lockdown restrictions.

South Africa has recorded over 2 million cases and 61 500 deaths so far during the pandemic, the data from the Department of Health showed, while 3.3 million people have been vaccinated — about 5% of the population.

The low vaccination rate has resulted from a mixture of bad luck and bureaucratic failures. The government had to destroy 2 million contaminated Johnson & Johnson vaccine doses earlier this year, while efforts to replace them have run up against global supply bottlenecks.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has criticised what he called global “vaccine apartheid,” with rich countries with plentiful vaccine supplies hoarding them while poorer countries wait.

To tackle this problem, South Africa on Saturday approved China’s Sinovac vaccine against Covid-19, as growing evidence emerges of its effectiveness.
