I quote....
70% of South Africans will get the coronavirus – Health Minister....
Speaking at a media briefing in Pretoria, Mkhize added that while most South Africans will get the virus, only about 20% will be seriously ill.
The minister predicted that the number of positive cases will reach over 200 on 20 March.....(https://mybroadband.co.za/news/trending ... ister.html).
Be safe out there.

He got that right. The number of CONFIRMED cases currently stand at 202.

Unfortunately I think the number of real cases are much higher than that. I just read the story of the 2 year old boy which is one of the confirmed cases where his Grandmother were told that he is a low risk case and that it would be waste of time and resources to test him. She insisted that he be tested which were reluctantly done and the tests proved positive.
How many other cases are walking around that have been refused testing and are in fact positive?
Government is tapping its selves on the shoulder for that measures taken but currently our testing protocol is the weakest link and that could prove very costly.
