yeah It’s one of the more startling stats.

This is going to go stratospheric in SA.

Didn’t they have 16k cases yesterday?

I imagine they’re testing levels are pretty minimal to hit such high positivity rate.

Read that before Omicron that 90% of South African adults had prior infection through covid.

Which is crazy given how they are sky rocketing again

I guess this is why we are accelerating our vaccination/booster roll out.

You're looking at all these [bought and paid for] governments and thinking they're pushing for mandatory vaccinations to profit "big pharma".
You're thinking they harm more people with war and that has been pushed through for years so why would they all of a sudden have our best interests at heart.
And you'd be right.
But I think what's happening is the people who profit from our existence are looking at the very real possibility that a lot of us are going to be too ill to work. And they're scared.
Because what other reason do we have to exist if not to work? For them.
None.
And they're shitting themselves. So they're trying to force these vaccinations.
That's not to say they don't think they are safe. They probably hope they are.
But it doesn't mean they are. It means they think they're safe enough that short term we can keep working for them.
To be suspicious of capitalism doesn't make you an anti vaxer. But to label any suspicion as anti vax does make us all less able to be suspicious.

Top scientist Dr Michelle Groome, of South Africa's National Institute for Communicable Diseases, has said there have been increased hospital admissions among children under four years old.

She called for surge preparations to include paediatric beds and staff as a result.

There is no evidence currently that suggests children are more severely affected by the Omicron variant.
