All my own opinion, obviously but the this has all the signs of what will turn out to be a massive overreaction.
The statement from the chair of SA's Medical Assoc. that it only causes mild disease ties in with what FunInvestor was saying yesterday about viruses needing to be more transmissible yet less deadly in order to survive.
Just like the now prevalent Delta variant, cases will be high yet yesterday the number of people admitted to hospital was just about on par with what we saw in August.
Understandably, the government has to be seen to be doing something otherwise public opinion amongst mainstream media consumers will plummet.
However, if they were genuinely worried about a new killer strain that we have no defence to, they'll have gone a lot harder. My belief is that they know this will be the new dominant strain but will not be any more deadly or put extra burden on hospitals. They'll have had that data from SA already.
What they don't know yet is how effective the vaccines are against it. That we have to wait for.
But that won't stop the paid derampers and outright nasty c-unts from swarming this board tomorrow with their vitriol.
There's loads of us that have been through thick and thin with this and are still here. For any newbies who believe in Cine, then stick to your principles and either give this site a miss for a few weeks or just plain ignore the trolls.
As I've said before, look to this time next year:
Covid (should) be over
Court case settled
Avatar 2 about to be released and be the highest grossing movie in history.
That's all I've got for today.
