The other side of the coin is playing out in the UK. People with cancer, heart conditions etc are told to stay home and not be treated and end up dying at home, since the hospitals only take covid patients. This is what I hear from a friend that lives in London.

Maybe my post was unclear but the nurse definitely wasnât being rude or had some attitude. I assume the person she was talking was a family member of the lady in the wheelchair. She probably told her not to touch her so that she doesnât get infected as well.

I figured as much, I didnt read it that way. The sad thing is it does happen more often than we would like to admit.

Thatâs it, itâs the basic SOP for infection control. Hospital have really strict measurements to ensure that general wards donât get infected with COVID, otherwise theyâd have another Addington on their hands.

The tourism,travel and hospitality industries are devastated and decimated already. There are going to be many more closures and thousands more unemployed before the end of the year. Those that survive are going to struggle to stay afloat, even once restrictions are lifted.
Meanwhile, the learned masters of our fair nation are determined to continue pushing their failed âtransformationâ agenda:

Yeah their pizzas were the beeâs knees. They had a wonderful chocolate-based ice cream dessert as well.

I hope they manage something, because that has been an institution - as soon as we were old enough to drink that was our sunday spot - friends came from fishhoek, paarl and everywhere for a sunday visit once a month or so

Ja ons het baie jare daar gaan vakansie hou. Toe ons Kaap toe trek het hulle selfs aangebied om ons te huisves vir 3 maande terwyl ons verblyf soek. Gelukkig het ons betyds plek gekry. Vriendelike mense, lekker kos en great views en vibe.

Dis wat my hart so seer maak, is al die plekke wat so geaffeekteer word, want hulle staan nie n kans om teen dec nog te bestaan nie - en ek weet daar is duisende sulke pleke orals land wyd wat in die selfde boot is. Dis was my kwaad maak van die virus.
