CHARTS SHOW SA CORONAVIRUS RESURGENCE IS IMMINENT

These charts show why the health department is on “high alert”.
By Leah Wilson, Bloomberg 13 May 2021  17:41

South Africa is on the brink of a third wave of coronavirus infections, driven
by a steady increase in new cases after a four-day holiday weekend that saw
millions of people travel to see family and friends and attend religious
gatherings.

New infections climbed 46% in the past week with cases rising fastest in the
Northern Cape and Gauteng, the country’s most-populous province, the National
Department of Health said Wednesday in a statement.

“We have not yet hit the third wave, however, we are at risk and we hence need
to be on heightened vigilance as a country,” it said.

These charts show why the health department is on “high alert”.



South Africa’s test positivity rate rose to 7.45% on Wednesday, according to
health department data. That’s the highest in five days and marks almost a month
since the rate has hovered close to or above the 5% threshold that’s considered
too high, according to the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

A sustained increase in the positivity rate could force President Cyril
Ramaphosa to consider reintroducing lockdown measures to curb the spread of the
disease that’ll weigh on the recovery on an economy that contracted the most in
a century in 2020.



While a resurgence of the virus is worrying, a third wave of infections in not
expected to be as severe as the second. That’s because studies in January and
February showed 30% to 40% of South Africa’s population of about 60 million have
already contracted the disease, according to the South African Covid-19
Modelling Consortium, a group linked to the National Institute for Communicable
Diseases.

Research by the Actuarial Society of South Africa suggests the new wave of
infections is likely to be less pronounced than the second wave. However, the
recent arrival of variants of the disease first detected in India and England
could skew estimations.



Still, Covid-19 hospital admissions have yet to show a significant increase and
almost three quarters of the 4,186 patients currently in private or public
facilities are being treated in general wards with the rest in high or
intensive-care units. Eighty-three health-care workers were hospitalised as of
Wednesday.

South Africa has been slower to roll out its vaccination program than many other
African countries and had only inoculated 430 730 health-care workers as of May
12 through a Johnson & Johnson study. A broader distribution of vaccines is
expected to begin this month.

EU plans to raise €300 billion to counter China's infrastructure spending

Brussels has announced plans to raise up to €300 billion to counter China's
infrastructure spending around the world. The money will help poorer countries
build highways, pipelines and broadband networks. The move is a response to
China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BIR), a massive collection of infrastructure
projects across the globe that has served to fortify Beijing’s foreign policy

Look, for many people, the danger of another wave is paled by the danger of the
imminent bankruptcy of their businesses, and loss of their life savings, which
was caused by politicians and officials who still receive their cozy salaries.
For some, the risk of suicide is imminent, and for them, the next wave is
irrelevant.

This covid stupidity must end. Put it to the vote. Let people vote for, or
against, slavery and lockdown measures if they have rights.

The people have been indoctrinated by 24/7 repetition of fear indulgence for
well over a year already. You can train an army of ants to perform circus tricks
with less effort. Many want vaccine no matter what. Even if the person in front
drops dead when injected they will demand their injection.

The only real issue is the actual proven genuine death toll which remains
virtually non existent. The PCR testing with excessive amplifications has been
repeatedly debunked as a crock. So why is this still being abused at taxpayer
expense only to produce manufactured false results? The answer should be clear
by now. Its all about enriching the few at the expense of the many. Fascism gone
rampant. This “report” has no credibility just like the outfit that dreamed it
up. The money makers seriously want their injection industry to keep growing and
generating billions for them. Their greed and its power over their fact avoiding
media and the unworthy corrupted is such that they simply don’t care about the
inordinate consequences. Pure evil.

Its also obvious the vaccine rollout is a complete and utter failure and will
prove to be a complete waste of money.

Herd immunity is the only way for “backward” countries. We should be almost
there anyway. Lockdown will just extend the pain.
