So this is a thing now. Before I could enter Spar the lady at the front insisted on spraying my hands with some sanitiser.

Most shops do that, and they disinfect all baskets and trollies before you can use them

Positive news (and The absolute best approach!) from the F1 champ following the flood of rumors about him after both Sophie Trudeau and Idris Elba, who he was with a charity event before traveling to Australia, tested positive.

Meanwhile, my behind neighbours have just started up the braai and the stereo and are having a fucking party with a bunch of kids running around the garden. :man_facepalming:t2:

Another heavy Twitter thread. This one from a young intern doctor in KZN. Sheā€™s terrified of the coming wave.

Honestly, as cliched as it might sound, if we donā€™t do everything we can to #flattenthecurve right now South Africaā€™s health services are going to collapse and people are going to die at rate magnitudes worse than Italy.

It might have been posted already, but sing your favorite song while washing your hands

Not my favorite song, but I thought it was appropriate

But donā€™t be too hopefulā€¦ Trump has a ā€œgood feelingā€

The issue here is we still have old school taps that you need your hands to use - I go and sanitize the bathroom after ANYONE in the office used it - they think I am taking it to far, they need to grow up and be serious.

Yea they know people will riot if they put us in lockdown - this is Africa after all
Just driving home this afternoon from spending the weekend at my brother I saw so many people still all over - even the mall parking was full
I need to go to the mall for jeans I have one pair so I suspect I will live in my pjs
