TheMercurySA That is not jumping ....yet
busrep they selling this lockdown big time 😬
This is mostly coz of more testing and I wanna know if you guys minus the people that have recovered from this number before publishing 🤔 over 1000 recoveries is also a good number but y'all never report on that
More testing. Duh
The. Number. Is. Not. A. Jump. A “jump” is exponential growth. A 165 increase in one day is only 5%. THAT IS NOT A JUMP
As they. Are. Not. Jumping. A “jump” is exponential growth. A 165 increase in one day is only 5%. THAT IS NOT A JUMP.
This proves beyond a reasonable doubt, that lockdown does not work.
