South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation Sunday evening to announce "urgent and drastic measures" to combat the novel coronavirus pandemic in the country.

Ramaphosa also declared a "national state of disaster" for South Africa and said the country was now dealing with internal transmission of the virus.

“There can be no half measures,” he said.

Ramaphosa announced that travel will be prohibited from the following high-risk countries: Italy; Iran; South Korea; Spain; Germany; US; United Kingdom and China starting March 18.

Existing visas from citizens of those countries will also be cancelled. Any foreigner who visited high risk countries in the past twenty days will also be denied a visa.

Effective immediately, South African citizens are also advised to refrain from all forms of travel to or through the European Union, United States, United Kingdom and other identified high-risk countries such as China, Iran and South Korea.

South African government officials are barred from international travel as well.

Trump will get his points back with a stimulus package after this is over. I say$2500- $3500 per person.

 

[Hahahaha]

If warm weather is a factor then that is good.

I haven't read any proof that this is the case.

Let's just get the shyt over with in one fell swoop instead of prolonged financial chaos.

That's exactly what we're trying to stop breh.

We know a certain percentage of people are going to need hospitalization. The total beds and associated equipment are far below that number.

NYC has 80% of their ICU's already full. We aren't even at the beginning of this shyt.

Look at Italy right now. They are doing war-time like triage and letting old people die in favor of saving younger ones.

That’s why im debating should I just cut all media outlets off or is this really a good source for FACTUAL information?

There's going to have to be a stimulus package if the States aren't going to take any responsibility to reimbursing the losses.

The point is, we know people are going to get it. But slowing down their movement helps the hospitals and healthcare workers not become overloaded. When they get overloaded, people die. End of story.

Asia doesn't count as they got it first. But if you don't think other countries look at what the US is doing, you're off. The President of the US is not called the leader of the free world for nothing.

even using sports as an example...many soccer leagues were still going (just without fans) until the NBA shut down

 

[MikelArteta]

all this shut down ish has me worries, you have millionaire doctors and millionaire politicans making these decisions that effect folks just getting by.

So government shuts down restaurants and bars, how are those people suppose to make money? Ain't no zion williamson to cover your paycheck for the next month, how are you suppose to buy groceries, pay rent?

Plus if things don't get better in 2 weeks then what?

Even for folks who are working from home like its all good these greedy ass companies will start laying off mass employees as well, if you can work from home and get it done so can sayesh in india for 3 bucks a hour.

I hope after this countries stop fn with china

Shut down the world when there isn't even 6 thousand dead from this, this really goes to show if there was a fast moving really deadly virus how fukked we would be.
