I have a friend in #CapeTown who has all the symptoms of #LongCovid. She's had the acute illness three times in spite of precautions. She phoned to make an appointment with Dr. Jaco Laubscher, then found out how much he charges. Can anyone from #teamclots recommend other doctors?
Or if you don't want to stick your neck out to make a recommendation, do you know other doctors in Cape Town or the Boland who at least claim to treat microclots and systemic conditions in #LongCovid? My own doctor knows some stuff, but doesn't wear a mask, so I don't trust him.
She is going to have the blood tests recommended by Dr. Laubscher, though.

#SOUTHAFRICA #CAPETOWN #CORONAVIRUS
South Africa reports a new variant of the corona virus, which is likely to be responsible for a second wave of infections in the country.
Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said on Twitter that his country's geneticists had isolated the strand known as "501.V2". The available data strongly suggested that “the current second wave is being driven by this new variant”.
Mkhize warned against speculation that there was no reason to change the recommendations for protective measures. According to WHO expert Maria Van Kerkhove, the World Health Organization is in contact with the researchers.
After 1 003 days, 40 011km, 23 509 transmissions, 2 oceans, 4 countries and millions of fans - #Yoshi's satellite tag has finally stopped transmitting. The greatest turtle of all time is at last, truly, on her own! 🐢 aquarium.co.za/blog/entry/yos… #farewellyoshi
This is not the end of #Yoshi's journey by any means! With 60 years of life ahead of her, and the possibility of breeding on the fertile and protected coast of #WesternAustralia, we're expecting plenty of baby Yoshi's in the future! aquarium.co.za/blog/entry/yos…
But, those babies will face the same man-made ocean dangers their mom did. To help the survival odds of all sea turtles, the TOA Education Foundation runs a highly successful #seaturtle rescue and rehabilitation programme that you can support here: aquariumfoundation.org.za/support-our-ca…
🦈WHALE SHARK🦈
#Whalesharks are the largest fish in the sea, reaching almost 19m! They are one of only three filter-feeding shark species, the others being the megamouth shark and basking shark. They use gill filters to catch plankton, jellies and small fish. #Sharktober
#Whalesharks are the largest fish in the sea, reaching almost 19m! They are one of only three filter-feeding shark species, the others being the megamouth shark and basking shark. They use gill filters to catch plankton, jellies and small fish. #Sharktober
We usually think of filter-feeding as happening automatically as the animal swims with its mouth open, but whale sharks are actually very active hunters. They use active suction to catch small animals near the water's surface. #Sharktober #whaleshark
#Whalesharks typically prefer tropical and temperate open oceans, but their slow migrations often bring them near shore to feed. These aggregation sites, including #SouthAfrica's southern coast, often benefit greatly from #ecotourism as a result of these beautiful visitors.

After about six months of blocking its airspace to regular international air traffic, South Africa will gradually open again to travel from abroad this Thursday.
After about six months of blocking its airspace to regular international air traffic, South Africa will gradually open again to travel from abroad this Thursday.
However, tourists from countries that are considered to be high-risk areas are still excluded. On a list announced by the government on Wednesday, Switzerland, the USA, Russia and Great Britain were named, but Germany was not.
However, entry is still subject to certain conditions, including a negative corona test and travel insurance
#SouthAfrica #Capetown #Coronavirus
During one of the world's strictest corona restrictions, around 2.2 million people lost their jobs in South Africa.
During one of the world's strictest corona restrictions, around 2.2 million people lost their jobs in South Africa.
The official unemployment rate for this period fell in the second quarter compared to the previous quarter from 30.1 to 23.3 percent, the statistics agency Stats SA announced on Tuesday.
The reason lies in the definition of the quota: It refers to people who are actively looking for a job - which was temporarily impossible.
#SouthAfrica #Capetown #Coronavirus
In view of the falling number of infections, South Africa is loosening its corona restrictions. In a speech to the nation on Wednesday evening, President Cyril Ramaphosa said restrictions would be lowered to the lowest level on Monday.

Although the virus continues to rage, the worst is over. "We are ready to open our gates to the world again." For this purpose, the airspace is to be reopened for international flights from October 1, after almost six months of closure.
However, the easing is still tied to certain restrictions - such as freedom of assembly or for air travelers. Negative corona tests immediately before departure are part of this. The night curfew is shortened to the time between midnight and four in the morning.

Mercury will pass between Earth & Sun on afternoon, 11 Nov 2019 Monday. Most of #MercuryTransit2019 can be seen from all of Africa, till local sunset. @SKA_Africa @SAAOOutreach @AfricaAstronomy @Astro4Dev & others are coordinating a Africa-wide campaign for #ToM2019 #ToMAfrica
It is VERY dangerous to look at the Sun directly using telescope binoculars or naked eyes. Looking at Sun's image projected onto a sheet of paper by a telescope is safe. There r a few public events by science centres etc in Africa where u can see #ToM2019 safely (pic @samyukta_m)
