You don’t get breathless and hypoxic from a false positive covid test result. Our hospital beds are not filled with people who have had a positive covid result and are worried about it. They’re filled with people who are sick, breathless and terrified. They’re not imagining it.

Hmmmm hard to call this a “casedemic” and attribute numbers to PCR inaccuracies when ICUs are fuller... intensivists are not in the business of admitting well patients to their critical care beds.

My dear friend Richard van Zyl-Smit wrote this piece about one of our toughest weeks yet. He has written weekly essays throughout the pandemic, and expresses our collective experience with such truthful clarity. This, on hope, is harrowing and beautiful.

Cannot support this move from ⁦SAHPRA⁩ .The current data for #ivermectin does not stand up to scrutiny. Results from better clinical trials urgently needed. Only then should we be making such a decision. news24.com/health24/Medic…

ACOG & SMFM stress that both COVID-19 vaccines should not be withheld from pregnant individuals who choose to receive the vaccine. ACOG’s and SMFM’s current guidance remains in place. Pregnant women are more likelj to develop severe illness than their peers. #COVIDOB SOAP
