Inventor of the mRNA vaccine. My views are mine. Ex- conflicted conservative. I ignore lots of people, don't take it personally.

Some quick highlights of the sneaky framing in Sizwe's thread on Covid numbers. I'm focusing mostly on the framing itself, + leading/manipulative comments. Not a deep dive into any science itself.
1. Sets tone up front with an overly blunt statement of fact (heh), but no evidence 2. Does it? I've never seen it that way, and I doubt others would. Total confirmed cases is still, at this point, an important metric.
3. Is it? First of many statements that attempt to poison the well by claiming to know the intentions of officials. This whole section is a mess

Been chatting with a friend at Constantiaberg hospital (Capetown) for a while, and it's important to share this info.
They cannot do any more. EU = emergency unit, "divert" means send them to another hospital (which will probably have the same problem, however)
