Good time to give up smoking. That was my plan initially. Then I realised quitting smoking whilst being locked down in a house with my wife, my brother, his wife and mother-in-law might just have dangerous consequences. I was proven right. Despite smoking, I'm still exceptionally close to becoming ...

maybe the government should extend the ban on booze past the lock-down There's certainly an argument to be made there I agree. But also counter- arguments. Number of stabbings for example decreasing due to people being at home and not in the streets. Also, army, SAPS and metro police patrolling is ...

Before the lockdown, I bought 2 cartons of cigarettes. Enough to keep me going for the 3 week lockdown. Now extended by 2 weeks and cigarettes still not allowed to be sold, I had no other option than to buy extra from dodgy people. Finding someone I could buy from was bloody difficult. It's actually...

2 more weeks. So we're not even 1/2 way yet. You've actually just completed the trial run. The 3 week lockdown is only staying tonight at midnight. Watching CR tonight, I was once again blown away by his leadership. A lot of world leaders can take lessons from this man. To think this pandemic could...

Derwyn wrote:What about the percentage for the non binary types. Are those with no gender better equipped to deal with the virus?

Interesting thing I noticed: since the outbreak, we've gone back to having only 2 genders.

Strange thing that.

Considering how bad and deadly man-flu is, this comes as no shock: Death and infection tolls from the Covid-19 pandemic spreading around the world point to men being more likely than women to contract the disease and to suffer severe or critical complications if they do. This, according to studies a...

And Bernie has dropped out. So definitely a Biden vs Trump election then. Unless the Dems see the errors of their ways and replace him with some super delegate type (Cuomo?). Not that Sanders would've been a better option for the Dems, but he would at least have been able to debate Trump. Say what ...

As for our economy (and the rest of the world's), in the short-medium term, we're going to kak a bit for sure. But I foresee this virus as the big RESET button for the world economy which we've all been waiting for. This virus, along with more and more countries embracing nationalism again, will f*c...

The notion that it's a "white man's disease" is unsubstantiated. Nowhere has any break-down per race/class/sex been published. Many, many Chinese especially, so can't say there hasn't been contact with foreigners either. I am also of the opinion we lucked out on quite a number of ways. Living with ...

F8ck me- if you sort the numbers by deaths per million, and exclude countries with less than 1000 recorded infections, its exclusively Europe and USA (Iran being the interesting outlier) making up EVERY country above the mean. That cant be an anomaly. Can we start a new conspiracy theory ? Cos this...

As I've said, I'm alone during this time. Mentally I've prepared myself for a 6 week lockdown. Only 3 weeks would be great for me. Let's hope the powers that be make the correct decisions. I've started these 3 weeks in a house with 5 people: me, my wife, my brother, his wife and her mother. I expec...

Current score:

Corona 7 - Army 8

I'm also not sure you can't take that numbers to prove your point? You are obvious use to Sards stats or you cant read graphs. If we introduced the lock down one week earlier we could have cut our official reported cases at least by half. To much draad trek made you lose some brain cells Fok, ek ge...

There is also another aspect to the way leaders have to handle this thing: the last thing they can afford is mass panic. They have to act, take drastic actions and make crucial split second decisions, all whilst keeping the population calm but at the same time also under wraps. This outbreak unfortu...

You give him way to much credit. The real kak is still on its way. They took two weeks to long before the lock down. Two weeks is going to cost us a lot of lives once the ball is on speed.

The Nazi's didn't kill millions and conquer Europe because "Socialism"...they did it because they believed they were the master race This is something I couldn't agree with you more.

Blake, I'm not going to type out a long post, at least for now, but just a couple of things... And we agree on a surprisingly number of issues.

The one question I have is, will or police & military be able to cope with this whole thing?
