We had running nose, sore throats and typical flu like symptoms recently. Unsure if it was covid or otherwise, but I’ve been told that unless you’re certain, high risk or critical condition to avoid the hospitals. This is two fold, due to capacities at the hospitals and the risk of getting infected due to going. Medical aid (Discovery) actually advised to stay home when I called to find out where to go to get tested.

Ok, so it seems my sister is negative while her husband is positive. Still no idea where he got it since he isn’t currently going out to see clients, they come to him and their offices have screens and sanitizing stations and everything.

Following my spiel about making sure conspiracy theorists understand the vaccine is exclusive, here’s the plan:
In Phase 1, with the first batch of vaccines, 1.2 million frontline health workers will be prioritised.
“In Phase 2, when more vaccines arrive, we will prioritise essential workers such as teachers, police, municipal workers and other frontline personnel. We will also prioritise people in institutions like old age homes, shelters and prisons, people over 60 years of age and adults with co-morbidities. The total number we plan to reach in this phase is around 16 million people,” he said.
In Phase 3, with increased manufacturer supplies, government will then vaccinate the remaining adult population of approximately 22.5 million people.
“We will then have reached around 40 million South Africans, which is considered to approximate herd immunity,” he said.

Do they have expected, or at the very least, predicted timelines for when they hope to roll out these phases?

All the way through I was never quite sure if this is a joke or not… Now I feel terrible.
But then I saw what their promo photos look like and I feel better again…

Not having your glasses fog up whenever you breath is already a huge plus. I have tried masks with “filters” on and they fail at it.

How can you say that when it has RGB?!?!?!?!
Okay, I’m joking, and I can’t watch @DarthMol’s video here at work, but I’d love to see the inevitable video of a mask pulse red or blue for low health or mana ingame!

With added crysis remastered integration, changing color to what current suit ability is activated 
and now that I think about it, that would be kinda cool.

Maybe then it can also restrict air intake and outtake in order to assimilate what a COVID patient goes through…

Must be a cloth mask with filters. I’ve got one like this and it doesn’t fog anything up (I don’t wear it in public though)
It’s all fun and games until it starts making connections to AWS

I personally think it’s crazy. But then that’s exactly what Razer with their RGB everything approach are aiming for here. Also let us not miss the fact that the mask has a mic and amplifies your voice so you can sound like Bane or even Darth Vader if you’re a heavy breather!

But now on the topic of masks, in this heat, I need something else, the buff works in winter, but in this heat I am dying and its triggering my anxiety.
I am looking at these kinds:

My buffs work better than these double layered masks. I’ve seen some manufacturers use nylon in their buffs, be sure to get the proper Buff™️.

The buff is seriously killing me, I am soaked by 10am and I cant deal with it - we have no aircon where I work so the buff is just to much - and yea I have the proper ones

Just got a letter from our school (CURRO) that they are also closing until 15 Feb after the minister’s speech this morning. We have remote learning and it has been working well in the lock down, but this seriously screws with our day jobs. It sounds insensitive, I know. I am not trying to be. But, I am already worried enough about our work without having to worry about what to do with my kids.
Who else will be having hassles with home schooling for a month?
