hi - i am from Johannesburg, SA - if there is ever anything you would like me to do, i most certainly will. Dont worry too much, Covid is mostly under control here despite what's in the mediaA couple of weeks ago I got rather upset regarding my grandparents (both of whom are in their 80s and live in Johannesburg, South Africa). They are dependent on home-care help from social services, but the covid situation over there is just as bad and chaotic as it is over here. They're confused and lonely and not in the best of health, but despite our best efforts they can't get the help they need. I can't even fly over there given the current restrictions.
So its more crying in frustration/anger than anything overly emotional or sad- although I know things might change for the worse if the situation over there doesn't improve.
Thanks for your support. I too am South African (born in Bloemfontein), and I don't believe all the excess hype I see on the various news media sites over there. But I know there's been big covid spikes in Gauteng over the last few days, especially among the elderly. But based on the feedback from other family members of there, my grandparents are in relatively safe hands: it's just the confusion and what they can and can't do is causing the most stress (they even contacted SADAG for some advice about mental anxiety). And at least I can Skype them where possible.hi - i am from Johannesburg, SA - if there is ever anything you would like me to do, i most certainly will.
