This government suddenly realised the scale of our power problem and wrote a whole letter telling us they will work on a plan to address it… it’s like ANC leaders live in a different country and just visit occasionally.
Over the past two weeks, we have been working with the relevant Ministers and senior officials on a range of additional measures to accelerate all efforts to increase our electricity supply.

The only team South Africans want escorting the vaccines...
South Africa is receiving 325,260 doses of Pfizer vaccine tonight. The delivery lands at OR Tambo airport just before midnight tonight. Same number of Pfizer doses expected to arrive in SA every week this month. This is a two-shot vaccine, unlike J&J, and requires cold storage.

Great thread explaining ‘long covid’ - treat it like fever - a symptom, not a disease is such a useful way of looking at it.
What on earth is long COVID?
1/ Long Covid is loosely defined as symptoms persisting weeks after COVID. Everyone has their own definition.
First, there is no single disease called "Long COVID".
Its a colloquial term given to a variety of conditions following COVID.

Not sure how big a role 1 plays but Mearsheimer and Walt were huge. I think a fourth factor playing out now is that newsrooms in US and UK are much more diverse. Some of part of that is due to many Al Jazeera English slums across the industry but also just broad shifts...
