China Flu


The calm before the storm, as South Africa gets its first positive case of the China Flu. Call it what you want, CoVid-19 which is cased by the SARS-CoV-2 virus was made in China, and now it has become a pandemic across the the entire world. ,

Here deep south in Africa, we waited with bated breath, excuse the pun, for the China Flu to arrive and here it is. A Chartered Accountant from Hilton who traveled on a ski holiday to northern Italy with his family and friends, is now known as patient zero but was only diagnosed on his 3rd day back. They say the the incubation period is 3-4 days from infection which makes more likely he got the China Flu virus either at the airport or on the flight back to South Africa. Lets hope that e have contained it in time.

So here I sit, hardly any wind coming down the gorge. Is this the calm before the storm?
