“ So all of a sudden the hospitals are full with a weak variant, i don’t believe a word of this.”

I know little of South Africa. I wonder if many South Africans, like our illegal aliens, use their emergency rooms as their primary care physician.
If things get any worse they’re thinking of replacing the hospital dirt floors with tile ones.
Only kidding. I know all the Third World isn’t really that bad.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, slum population constituted 56.2 percent of the total population. article from Jun 10, 2021.
Sad story here shows “A Rwandan child standing on his family’s new flaxseed oil floor.” Instead of dirt floor.

And what kind of treatments are these “patients” getting? I smell money somewhere.
Omachron is the evil Transformer...
“Some South Africa hospital wards are jammed with patients infected with the omicron coronavirus variant...”
“Some”???
I just read some statements by doctors there and they said just the opposite— no uptick in hospitalizations, cases are very mild.
What killed them?
Let’s see, up to 16,000 CASES and the hospitals are JAMMED, but are the hospitals where people go to get tested in South Africa? No indication that there are increased numbers of actual SICK people who need hospitalization, just percentages. “Unfortunately, we’re seeing a more than doubling of hospital admissions each day,” which could mean from one admission to two. Also, “...bed occupancy is increasing 30% to 40% per day, over the last few days.” Well, that’s not a doubling.
So tired of this pandemic porn.
There was one report yesterday that said the young people were in the hospital for something else, but tested positive on the in-hospital tests.
You’re welcome.
It gave me a chuckle when I saw it.
I call BS!!!!!!!!!!
How are they testing for this FAKE variant?
The PCR test?!?!?!?!?!?!
TOTAL BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All cultures and races are equal...
It’s always helpful to readers if you tell us where you are.
Sure, from a handful of cases as mild as a cold to hospitals full in two days. I totally believe it. LOL
“Well our hospital had more deaths over this weekend than in the past two years. 12 died, 50 actually in the hospital and 9 in ICU.....so we’re getting hit with something.”

I’ve watched the projections and for my home state, Texas, we were projected for a high point of infections in September, matching the high point last January, and then the numbers would decline. The reported numbers have matched those projections.
However,, of all the people I know and stay in touch with, primarily on Facebook, there have been many more who have gotten Covid over the past three months than during the entire pandemic. Not by just a little, either, but at least a 10 to 1 ratio.
It’s a pretty large sample of people, relatively, a good enough sample that I’ve found myself wondering the past few weeks if the infection numbers reported are just complete BS.
Me too
Kumbaya, Lord, Kumbaya.
Didn't know this factoid:
Rooted in an American spiritual and folk song of the same name, kumbaya refers, often disparagingly, to moments of or efforts at harmony and unity. Dictionary.com Slang.
Flu maybe
You know...like we test incoming illegals at the Mexican border.
I think someone asked Fauci about the illegals...and he said...hey...it's gonna get here...kinda like...what's the point.
Africa as a whole has a very poor medical infrastructure so that would be a good assumption.
