Unsure if that validity of some of this information. Is there a specific South African strand of the virus?

âOurâ virus has three mutations.
Basically @Mottamort saved up his points and bought out three mutations at once.

South Africaâs vaccines will be stored in a secret, centralised location from where they will be distributed to healthcare facilities.
Fat lot of good thatâs going to do - the thieves are already inside the building!!
This is the same bunch of self-enriching cadre-deployed chucklefucks that canât even manage to keep national exam papers secure.
Anyone who enables this kak by paying an unofficial source for a âvaccineâ deserves to be fleeced for thousands, and deserves the consequences of whatever it is that theyâre actually putting into their bodies.
Next big underground growth industry: fake or illegal vaccination certificates to show employers and border agencies.
Next big legitimate growth industry: vaccination certificate verification services.
Plot twist: the same cadres will be fulfilling both services.

I wonder if the rhetoric around the vaccines havenât been all wrong. All these conspiracy theorists with the âBill Gates 5G mind control vaccineâ nonsense assume that the vaccine will just be made available to everyone.
We should emphasise the fact that the vaccines are going to be quite exclusive for quite awhile. The first doses will be going to health care workers and other front-line personnel, followed by those who are next-most at-risk (i.e. elderly, those with comorbidities, etc.)
Most conspiracy theorists wonât be given the chance to refuse the vaccine for at least a year because they wonât even be offered a shot for that long.

I completely agree with this and support. Just curious though, what sort of screening will be done in order to determine of youâre elligble and at high-risk in order to receive one?

Daily new cases and daily deaths still tracking up. We are way higher than the June-July peaks of last year.
Those are both 7-day rolling averages. Globally itâs not slowing down either, despite vaccines rolling out. The variants are appearing all over the world now. Even New Zealand is reporting new cases again.
I think itâs inevitable that we are going to be going back to more stringent lockdown restrictions. Probably to be announced within days, probably at least equal to Level 4 restrictions.

I have no idea why that sentence was so satisfying to read.
@Beo: The screening is similar to what has already been implemented to determine testing. The screening questionnaire probably wonât change much.

You sound very naive. The first people to get the Vaccines (if we not even going down the rabbit hole of âfake/quick-buck knockoffâ variants) will be the same ministers who told us that its caused by 5g towers, the rest will be sold at a big markup to their friends and familyâŚmaybe some will trickle down to the frontline ppl 
yes iâm like that

Yeah but surely it would be of detriment to our economy, so I suspect if it does move towards a hardened lockdown that it will only be for a shorter containment period, say one week.

I think thatâs plausible, because I think the timing of the current spike is also a big contributor. We are now at 11 days after New Yearâs, so if we assume a spike in numbers for Christmas day, one for New Yearâs, and one for return to work on 4 Jan, weâll hopefully see the numbers slow down a bit after the 15th. All this is pure conjecture and speculation, though

Did he give an indication of how long it would last during the last speech?

until Friday, so level 3 till 15th, hence why i think we will stay at it

Ahh that makes sense then. It still does seem early for an announcement of an extension. I got some fake news that it will be level 4 from Jan 16 to Feb 15, but it also said tobacco sales will be affected, which was deemed unconstitutional, so Iâm not holding any weight on that.
