EXACTLY THIS

We are all lab rats now. We all volunteered for it by not dying.

A family we know took the a flight from HK to S Africa, and now stuck in Doha of Qatar, at the airport, for past 48 hours. Another family we know deciding to brave the trip in the other direction, w/ some repatriation flight this coming Sunday, as they have been in a farm house place near Jo’berg for the past month out of plan, have 3 kids including a 21 month young baby, and want to get back to HK.

We are staying put until end-May, and maybe as far later as end-August, all depending, on what we have not a clue, but on anything we can decide on.

The officialdoms are apparently, though unspoken, using airport waiting halls as human inventory warehouse as testing / quarantine facilities require buffer feed facilities that are not existing. People, indubitably, unlike oil, cannot be stored in transport machines.

Everything everywhere is an experiment. The lab rats all over the place. The testers are not competent and have no clue, making it up by winging it. The equipment / infrastructure not designed for purpose.

Let us see what the reopening efforts everywhere exposes.

I have been speaking to a South African national. The Lockdown in SA is just eye watering. Fortunately I gave up tobacco in the 1990's, but I remember the addiction well... my golly how is this possible?

if you have shares in bootleg tobacco and alcohol, fortunes can be made undoubtedly.

While in Tanzania... Reuters reports...

"DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) - Tanzania has suspended the head of its national health laboratory in charge of testing for the coronavirus and ordered an investigation, a day after President John Magufuli questioned the tests’ accuracy.

Magufuli said on Sunday the imported test kits were faulty as they had returned positive results on a goat and a pawpaw — among several non-human samples submitted for testing, with technicians left deliberately unaware of their origins."
