@WildPasts_ @ChangeorgSA Of course! I get bombarded with requests about dead AI generated kids, nasty capitalism, Trump’s madness, the evils of Zionism, etc. So it’s nice to finally get a petition I actually feel like signing. Please feel free to block this post.

@orpheusr @ChangeorgSA Thanks for sharing this!

Save Maties Equestrian Club and the Stellenbosch University horses! - Sign the Petition! c.org/Z8kBWZdVcx via @ChangeorgSA

@WildPasts_ Might he be persuadable to consider Theology? Although, on second thoughts, it may be difficult to discern effect from their baseline.

@orpheusr I think we need the element of surprise for the experiment. Meanwhile I worry about the colleague in our department working on political corruption and violence. His empirical work will be terrifying. One can only hope he chooses to conduct it in a neighbouring department.

Jesus when this gets out what WON’T my dean expect me to do ?

@philzy48189885 @RachBlevins @grok I’m not sure it was meant as satire. Sarcastic, perhaps, but I think she expected us to believe the implied claim. That would be consistent.

@RachBlevins @grok is this real?

The US: We did it, sir. The people are taking to the streets and we’re on our way to regime change! Trump: Great. In Iran, right? The US: No… Bahrain….

@rasmalai Java. Now your turn—name one without vowels 👀

Go BOS! (See wot I did there?) With half price off all animal-oriented @JacanaMedia Media books today! (Also half price on all their other books but really who cares?)

@rqobela Ada. I leaned it for fun, but never used it for anything else. But also Forth - I learned it as part of a program in Music Technology, but hell no!

Programming language you learnd but never used again is...?

@HeidiGiokos I'd be happy to take the Oxford vaccine, like today! No need to keep it till April.

BREAKING: The over 1 million AstraZeneca vaccines that arrived in SA on Monday expire in April. This was only picked up when they arrived in SA. They have a 6month life span. #Vaccine #VaccineforSouthAfrica

@Airborne_4_Life @Unathi_Kwaza @pietmeis1234 I also agree about mass hysteria. But I also think trying to get as unbiased a view is also really important. And also, as you point out, understanding that there is a lot we still don't know about the disease and the course it will take.

@Airborne_4_Life @Unathi_Kwaza @pietmeis1234 Hi Johnny. I understand and admire your scepticism. And you're correct that that there are many unknowns. The recovery rate you cite is actually extremely low. Expect around 99.9% of flu patients to recover, for example.

@Airborne_4_Life @Unathi_Kwaza @pietmeis1234 China stabilised after locking down a province and quarantining a large city. Exponential growth will get you to terrifying numbers very quickly.

@faroukee Thanks Farouk, I've seen all of these tutorials but have neither the materials nor skills. I can't be unique. Supply is low. Obviously one cannot invest in a proper production and supply chain for a product that will be required for only 3 weeks.

It is very easy to make one. See: vox.com/the-goods/2020…

@Ilenetjie @CumberdickB It's utterly ridiculous.

@CumberdickB This is against South Africa's lockdown rules. Also jogging even when alone. No cycling of any other form of outdoor exercise (except in your yard). Yet you can walk to the shops and hundreds do so at the same time.

So genuinely, how you doing?

@Airborne_4_Life @Unathi_Kwaza @pietmeis1234 Simply because unchecked the number of deaths is likely to grow exponentially. It is VERY early.

@faroukee @PresidencyZA @DrZweliMkhize Sorry, but where do we get the masks?

@PresidencyZA Dear President Ramaphosa. By swiftly locking down South Africa, you acted in the best interest of the country. Making universal masking compulsory is now needed in order for a belt and braces tackling of COVID-19. Follow the science. Time is ticking. @DrZweliMkhize

@saneman3000 @FatEmperor This could be for many reasons. For example, in Italy, where extended families can sometimes live in close proximity, some people may choose to die at home with their family rather than in quarantine. Such deaths _and infections_ might not be reported as Covid-19.

@FatEmperor Why are deaths being undercounted to this degree?

@eNCA Ok, I’ve seen the appropriate clip on YouTube (as far as I can tell, you’ve embedded the wrong clip in your tweet) in which she explains clearly what purpose the serological kits are not suitable for.

@eNCA Do you know on what basis this claim is made? What is their evidence that these kits are not suitable for purpose? On a somewhat related note, how accurate is the "gold standard" PCR?
